Globalization and Health risks
How globalization is creating health impacts alongside the benefits
Globalization means interacting and integrating the different companies, organizations, etc within the globe. Globalization has made trading easy among the countries. It is also helping in the transportation of the goods from one corner of the world to the other one. Along with that, globalization has a strong impact on health.
Globalization has both direct as well as indirect effects on the health of individuals. When people travel from one country to the other one, they have to face the weather of that very country. Pathogens flow very frequently from country to country. If the trader is going to the city, which has a certain kind of pandemic and plague, the trader will be affected by it as well.
Influenza is also another important factor that is caused by globalization. The weather and the surrounding conditions of a country do not suit the person who is involved in the trading of his transportation.
Therefore, the world health authorities have come up with different health strategies to adopt to avoid this health risk caused by globalization. To spread awareness about health risks, the use of telecommunication has played a very important role in making people conscious. They have made certain technological innovations as well to reduce the health issue.
Globalization is a blessing in one way because the interconnectivity, as well as technology, has made it possible to disseminate awareness among the people. This ratio is generally high in more developed countries due to their widespread resources. Under-developed countries have not been exposed to such privileges. Therefore, it has two sides of the picture, a good and a bad one.
This is how globalization has a strong impact on health. It is facilitating the world as well as causing health risks at the same time.
