Summary
Public health strives to maximize the well-being of an entire population
Chronic diseases are becoming more prevalent with aging populations
Global health is improving in general but there are parts of the world that lag behind
Other factors play a role in health like poverty, nutrition, education, water and sanitation
Health is central to global development objectives
