Emerging health issues: the widening challenge for population health promotion
SUMMARY
The spectrum of tasks for health promotion has widened since the Ottawa Charter was signed. In 1986, infectious diseases still seemed in retreat, the potential extent of HIV/AIDS was unrecognized, the Green Revolution was at its height and global poverty appeared less intractable. Global climate change had not yet emerged as a major threat to development and health. Most economists forecast continuous improvement, and chronic diseases were broadly anticipated as the next major health issue.
Today, although many broadly averaged measures of population health have improved, many of the determinants of global health have faltered. Many infectious diseases have emerged; others have unexpectedly reappeared. Reasons include urban crowding, environmental changes, altered sexual relations, intensified food production and increased mobility and trade. Foremost, however, is the persistence of poverty and the exacerbation of regional and global inequality.
Life expectancy has unexpectedly declined in several countries. Rather than being a faint echo from an earlier time of hardship, these declines could signify the future. Relatedly, the demographic and epidemiological transitions have faltered. In some regions, declining fertility has overshot that needed for optimal age structure, whereas elsewhere mortality increases have reduced population growth rates, despite continuing high fertility.
Few, if any, Millennium Development Goals (MDG), including those for health and sustainability, seem achievable. Policy-makers generally misunderstand the link between environmental sustainability (MDG #7) and health. Many health workers also fail to realize that social cohesion and sustainability—maintenance of the Earth's ecological and geophysical systems—is a necessary basis for health.
In sum, these issues present an enormous challenge to health. Health promotion must address population health influences that transcend national boundaries and generations and engage with the development, human rights and environmental movements. The big task is to promote sustainable environmental and social conditions that bring enduring and equitable health gains.

Key point covered in this pdf resource:
The world population has risen dramatically over the past century
• The rapid growth in population is stressing health care resources the world over.
• Population is growing fastest and health care tends to be even less available in developing nations.
•There are more older people, who typically have a greater need for health care.

Health Consequences of Population Changes in Asia: What Are the Issues?
This report is part of an ongoing process that will help the MetaCentre and scholars of the region better understand the important research questions which address health and population change in the Asian context. It developed from discussions that took place during a two-day workshop, entitled “Health Consequences of Population Changes in Asia: What are the Issues,” held in conjunction with the First IUSSP Southeast Asia Regional Conference, in Bangkok, Thailand, 13-4 June, 2002. The workshop was organized by the MetaCentre with support from the Wellcome Trust. The workshop brought together regional experts from a variety of disciplines to discuss the important issues related to population change and health and possible approaches toward addressing these issues.

Population Growth & Health Facilities In Nigeria (A Case Study Of Ondo State)
ABSTRACT: Initially, HEALTH SERVICES in Nigeria were usually provided by traditional doctors followed by physicians brought by Portuguese traders to care for the health of members of their staff. Achievement of the goal of health is a basic problem being encountered in most parts of the country. Hence, the research on population growth and health facilities in Ondo State was carried out with the intension of finding out how the population growth affects the available health facilities in the state. The achievement was made possible by using various statistical tools such as series Analysis, F – ratio test. It was deduced that the available health facilities are not sufficient enough compare to the standard given by the world health organization (WHO) from where measurement is based. However, more action should be expedited, since the subject plays a primary role in the development and standard of the country.

Population Growth and the Global Health Workforce Crisis
In this technical brief, we discuss the potential impact of population growth on countries’ efforts to improve their populations’ access to skilled health workers. Careful attention must be given to how population size interplays with health worker production to determine the desired health worker density ratio. An increasing rate of population growth could negate important gains in health worker production, preventing improvements in and possibly worsening the health workforce crisis in many countries. Conversely, countries that have significant declines in their rates of population growth could reach desired health service coverage more quickly than would otherwise be the case. We conclude by highlighting the need to address both health worker production and population growth to mitigate the health workforce crisis.

The effects of aging and population growth on health care costs
Abstract: Aging and population growth both contribute importantly to the rise in health care costs. However, the percentage contribution of these factors declined between 1970 and 1990, and we expect a continued decline through 2005. Data indicate that the relative costs of treating patients age sixty-five and over grew more rapidly than did the costs of treating other patients. Sensitivity analyses indicate that regardless of whether these trends persist, the percentage contribution of aging and demography is likely to decline between 1990 and 2005. Application of our model through 2030 suggests that if current trends persist, aging will cause a major acceleration in the rise in costs.
