These interdisciplinary databases on human health and diseases can be tested from now until 15 October 2024.

GLOBAL HEALTH combines the resources of two internationally renowned databases – the Public Health and Tropical Medicine (PHTM) database, formerly produced by the Bureau of Hygiene and Tropical Diseases (BHTD), and the human health and disease information from CAB ABSTRACTS.

The Global Health database covers the following aspects of human health and disease:

• Communicable diseases (including HIV/AIDS)
• Tropical diseases, i.e. diseases in the tropics (including field and experimental studies)
• Parasitic diseases and parasitology – medical entomology
• Human nutrition (including food composition, food poisoning, effects of nutrition on health, nutritional disorders and experimental aspects)
• Community and public health (including chronic diseases, occupational health, health status indicators, impact of agriculture on health and cancer epidemiology)
• Medicinal and toxic plants (including pharmacology, tissue culture, animal studies, plant composition, allergens and toxins)

It thus supports the thrust of UZH’s strategy – and I quote:

“As the largest comprehensive university in Switzerland with outstanding faculties of medicine, veterinary medicine and science, UZH is virtually predestined for successful interdisciplinary collaboration as envisioned in the One Health concept,” says Elisabeth Stark, Vice President Research at UZH.”

And ‘Global Health’ is one of the databases that tried to reproduce the interdisciplinary approach early on.
