The new philosophy of
global health will include information sharing – one of
the most important means to improve health globally.
Global health is a
knowledge organization, with multiple different
disciplines tied together by lines of communication to
attack global problems. New achievements in the field of
information technology are helping to exchange
information rapidly and at minimal cost. The Internet
revolution allows us to effectively share global health
research information across the globe. Palm pilots,
iPods, cell phones, and other technologies hold a great
potential to improve information delivery to remote
regions.
If knowledgeable about
global health, medical students could play a major role
in sharing public health and medical information and
improving health around the world.
