安全界和外交政策界越来越多地将全球健康问题视为对国家安全的威胁。全球健康是一项人道主义努力，旨在改善世界健康，包括最脆弱的人民，而国家安全则致力于保护特定国家内人民的利益。美国和联合王国的主要安全政策声明将国家安全的自我保护利益与全球卫生的人道主义目标联系起来。虽然有可能通过与安全和外交政策界建立伙伴关系来扩大全球卫生活动，但将全球卫生问题视为国家安全威胁可能会不成比例地将注意力集中在对富裕国家构成安全威胁的国家或疾病上，而不是集中在对全球卫生最大的威胁上。全球卫生界应仔细审查全球卫生和国家安全利益重叠的领域。
The security and foreign policy communities have increasingly addressed global health problems as threats to national security. Global health is a humanitarian endeavour that seeks to improve the world's health including the most vulnerable peoples, while national security works to protect the interests of people within a given state. The major statements of security policy by the United States and United Kingdom link the self-protective interests of national security with the humanitarian objectives of global health. While there is potential to expand global health activities through partnership with the security and foreign policy communities, treating global health issues as national security threats may focus attention disproportionately on countries or diseases which pose security threats to wealthy nations, rather than on the greatest threats to global health. The global health community should carefully scrutinise areas where global health and national security interests overlap.
