In Italy an important contribution to the spread of global health education (GHE) grew from the establishment and work of the Italian Network for Global Health Education (INGHE). INGHE gave a national shared definition of global health (GH), grounded in the theory of determinants of health, inspired by a vision of social justice, and committed to reduce health inequities. The aim of this article is to share with the international community INGHE's point of view on Medical Education.
To express its view of medical education at the national level, INGHE established a dedicated commission, which elaborated a first draft of the document and then shared and discussed it with all other members.
INGHE elaborated a paper where it explained the need to change medical education in order to prepare future health professionals for the challenges of the globalized and unequal world. In this article the authors summarize the experience of INGHE and share with the international community its document.
The authors believe it is necessary now, more than ever, to insert this new approach to health at social and academic levels. Students should play a fundamental role in the spread of GHE, and activities related with GHE could be considered an important part of the third mission of universities to promote social justice.
在意大利，意大利全球健康教育网络（INGHE）的建立和运作对全球健康教育（GHE）的传播做出了重要贡献。INGHE 基于健康决定因素理论，秉持社会正义愿景，致力于减少健康不平等，为全球健康提供了一个国家共享的定义。本文旨在与国际社会分享 INGHE 对医学教育的观点。
为了在国家层面表达其对医学教育的看法，INGHE 成立了一个专门委员会，该委员会起草了文件初稿，然后与所有其他成员分享和讨论。
INGHE 编写了一份文件，阐述了改变医学教育的必要性，以便为未来的卫生专业人员应对全球化和不平等世界的挑战做好准备。本文作者总结了 INGHE 的经验，并与国际社会分享其文件。
作者认为，现在比以往任何时候都更有必要在社会和学术层面上纳入这种新的健康方法。学生应该在传播全球健康教育方面发挥核心作用，与全球健康教育相关的活动可以被视为大学促进社会正义的第三使命的重要组成部分。
