Abstract

The current worldwide situation is ruled by globalization, and therefore the concept of global health involves not only health-related issues but also those related to the environment and climate change. Therefore, in this Special Issue, the problems related to global health have been addressed from a bibliometric approach in four main areas: environmental issues, diseases, health, education and society.

Keywords: COVID-19; HIV/AIDS; asthma; climate change; diabetes; medicinal plants; microplastics; musculoskeletal risks; obesity; patents; pulmonary disease; social networks; wastewater treatment.
