Featured article series

New England Journal of Medicine has a series of review articles on global health. The series is built around articles that explain the need for global health, the challenges to achieving it, and the solutions to problems related to it.
The meaning of the term global health has evolved over time. In developing this series, the concept of global health as “public health for the world” is adopted.
