Abstract

The core belief behind global health is that “disease knows no borders” and thus, in order to eliminate health risks, we should focus on the scope of their problems and not their location. However, some countries, such as those located in the Middle East and North Africa, which are dealing with economic and political instability as well as conflict, have to face greater health challenges than others. These states tend to depend more on international cooperation and global health policies to eliminate the growing health challenges in their region. This paper seeks to examine the general health status, health risks as well as some global and regional health initiatives implemented in the MENA region, aiming to respond to the multitude of health issues affecting these countries.
