Global health is an emerging discipline that is highly international and interdisciplinary. Systematically cultivating global health talents is not only a national strategic need, but also meets the needs of global health cooperation and development. Since 2000, international health organizations have been extremely active, and health-related issues have gone beyond the traditional health category and have been frequently included in the agenda of meetings with senior government leaders from various countries.

Global health has become a “non-traditional security threat” to the country and has increasingly become an important link between countries and regions. Accelerating the training of global health talents can not only create a good international public opinion environment for my country's peaceful rise, but also provide important strategic guarantee for national security. Well-known universities in the United States such as Harvard University and the University of Washington have established global health research centers (institutes) or established global health departments to offer global health majors suitable for undergraduates and master's students.
