Abstract

International public health is the field devoted to the study and betterment of physical health of those living in all communities throughout the world. The field of international public health is connected with several associated disciplines including medicine, nursing, sociology, statistics, political science, psychology and sociology. The ever-growing fabric of international connections also demands ever growing roles related to international public health. While the field of international public health is global in scope, it focuses most strongly upon those people who Live on the margins of well-to-do societies. These include some three billion persons who subsist on less than US $2.50 per day. The greatest concentrations of marginalized people live in low-income nations. What's more, they are frequently minorities, immigrants, and less educated. But every metropolitan area around the globe, including within high income nations, contains marginalized people.
