RESUMEN
National and Global Health have dramatically improved since the end of WWII. This has been primarily the result of public health actions. Public health is information transfer. The information superhighway can markedly improve public health, but public health and prevention have been neglected. Tele medicine, but it should. We have outlined a global health network to address this. The global health network consists of 1) connectivity of all people in public health worjdwide. 2)tele-monitoring of disease, the use telecommunication for disease monitoring. 3)establishment of a global health network university, a health network through the internet, 4)connecting health related non-government organizations, 5)establishment of a global health network research server to replace biomedical journals, 6)the training of cyberdocs, individual trained in public health and networking (AU)

A major difficulty in a disaster is knowing where to find accurate information to help coordinate efforts in a quick and organized way. The establishment of a global information network, in place before a disaster occurs, could link all the efforts towards relief. We propose that a Global Health Unit for Disaster and Relief Coordination be set up as part of the Global Health Network, having the Internet as its backbone. This Unit would establish the links for the disaster information mosaic (AU)
