Global Health & Nursing
- Global health focuses on improving health and achieving health equity for all people, transcending national borders.
- Global health issues require global cooperation in planning, prevention, preparedness, and care.
- Public and private sectors must collaborate through interprofessional and interagency cooperation.
- The Global Burden of Disease Study 2016 revealed that noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) are the leading cause of death, accounting for 72.3% of all deaths.
- Communicable, maternal, neonatal, and nutritional diseases (CMNN) accounted for 19.3% of deaths.
- Injuries accounted for 8.4% of total deaths.
- There is a global shift from premature mortality from CMNN towards deaths at older ages due to causes such as cardiovascular diseases, stroke, and neoplasms.
Communicable, Maternal, Neonatal, and Nutritional Diseases (CMNN)
- Deaths from communicable diseases decreased due to reductions in deaths from HIV/AIDS, malaria, tuberculosis, and diarrheal diseases.
- HIV/AIDS deaths declined by 45.8% from 2006 to 2016 due to antiretroviral therapy and prevention of mother-to-child transmission programs.
- Tuberculosis deaths decreased by 20.9%, diarrhea deaths by 24.2%, malaria deaths by 25.9%, measles deaths by 72.5%, leishmaniasis deaths by 54.1%, and intestinal infectious diseases deaths by 14.7% from 2006 to 2016.

- Global maternal and neonatal deaths decreased between 2006 and 2016.
- Maternal disorders, including sepsis, other infections, and hemorrhage, saw significant reductions in deaths.
- Neonatal disorders also saw a decrease of 25.3% in total deaths between 2006 and 2016.
- Nutritional deficiencies caused 3.49% of total deaths from CMNN causes, with protein-energy malnutrition being the leading cause.
Noncommunicable Diseases (NCDs)
- Cardiovascular diseases caused the most deaths, followed by neoplasms and chronic respiratory diseases in 2016.
- Globally, cardiovascular disease deaths increased by 14.5% from 2006 to 2016.
- Ischemic heart disease and cerebrovascular disease (stroke) accounted for over 85.1% of cardiovascular disease deaths in 2016.
- Ischemic heart disease deaths increased by 19.0% from 2006 to 2016.
- Deaths from chronic respiratory diseases decreased by 17.9% from 2006 to 2016.
- The absolute number of deaths and the trends in death rates vary across different geographic regions.
Injuries
- Injuries accounted for 8.4% of total deaths in 2016, with road injuries being the leading cause.
- Road injury deaths increased by 32.0% from 2006 to 2016, with the rate of increase higher in low-income countries.
