The current global context differs significantly from that of the 20th century, and continues to evolve. Disease patterns have changed and continue to do so. The trends in urbanization, fast epidemiologic transition in low- and middle-income countries, changes in the roles of governments in relation to population health and health care demand a new way of thinking and acting with respect to public health.
