complete an analysis of a global health problem comparing a first world, second world, and third world country on Global Tuberculosis. Your oral presentation with PowerPoint will last 8-10 minutes and include APA slide citations and a reference page. You will share your screen and present to the class live.
Describe key public health concepts related to global health, including: demographic and epidemiological transitions, measures of health status, and the burden of disease or health issue.
B. Discuss the burden of disease/health issue in various regions of the world and the variations in incidence and prevalence both within and across countries
C.Discuss the ways in which globalization has changed the patterns of the spread of disease and the methods needed to control disease.
D.Describe the links between health and economic development.
E. Describe the communities/populations socio-cultural values that play a role in the way that health and illness are defined, treated, and therefore the relevance/appropriateness of various types of interventions.

Speaker Notes Tuberculosis (TB) remains a significant global health threat, particularly in developing countries. This presentation will explore the burden of TB across the world, highlighting the disparities between developed, developing, and less developed countries. We will delve into the impact of globalization, sociocultural factors, and the link between health and economic development on TB control.
Slide 2
Key Public Health Concepts
Speaker Notes Understanding these concepts is crucial for analyzing the global TB burden. Demographic shifts can influence the number of people susceptible to TB. Measures of health status help quantify the impact of TB on populations. The burden of disease allows us to compare the severity of TB compared to other health issues.

Speaker Notes The burden of TB is not evenly distributed. The World Health Organization (WHO) reports the highest rates in Southeast Asia and Africa. These regions often face challenges like poverty, malnutrition, and weak healthcare systems, contributing to the high TB burden.
