- What is the history of need for each global health initiative?
- Who funds the global health initiative?
- Where are the initiatives implemented (rural areas, urban areas, hospitals, mobile clinics, etc.)?
- Have the global health initiatives been successful with their missions thus far?
- What is the role of the transcultural nurse in the global health initiative?
