Preface
This Handbook of Global Health is one of the rare cases, when essence precedes
existence.Initiallyframedasa“collectionofproblems,ratherthanadiscipline,”the
rapidly emerging field of global health was manifested in 2020 by the COVID-19
pandemic.Theongoingpandemicnotonlysubstantiatesthedefinition,methods,and
practice of global health, but also evidenced the interconnectedness and
interdependence of major health challenges in the twenty-first century. Therefore,
thistimelyhandbookaimstoprovideup-to-dateexpertisehighlightingallaspectsof
globalhealthtohelpstudents,researchers,andpractitionersworkingacrossarange
ofdisciplinestotranslateknowledgeintoaction.
Realizing the lack of a comprehensive overview of current global health topics
and challenges for global health decision-making and public policy, the genesis of
the present Handbook of Global Health began in 2017 around the World Health
Summit, a leading annual international global health conference in Berlin. Taking
advantage of the fact that diversity is the key to success, also in global health,
authorshipcontributionsofthishandbookaregender-balancedandequallypromote
authorsfromtheglobalSouthaswellasNorth.Wearegratefultothisdiversefieldof
authorsfortheirvaluableexpertiseandwouldalsoliketothankMichaelHerrmann,
Tina Shelton, and Divya Nithyanandam from Springer Nature for their continuous
supportduringthepreparationandproductionofthishandbook.
Lookingintoapost-pandemicfuture,itisoursinceresthopethattheHandbookof
Global Health will serve students, researchers, and practitioners alike, taking a
one-health approach at the human-animal-environment interface to ensure multi-
specieshealthandwell-beinginthetwenty-firstcentury.
