Abstract

Achieving marked health and improving the quality of life is the area of major concern for the healthcare bodies and workers all over the world. “No man is an island”. We live in a community and are inter-related. So is health. Global community health is an amalgamation of health care services, economies and social conditions of the communities all over the globe in a unison. Health is not only restricted within the four walls of a clinic or a hospital, but involves every individual of a population outside those walls and is community-oriented. It deals with solving health related issues and achieving better health goals, by inter-connecting healthcare systems globally with the main focus at achieving health for all, and not for one!
