"The golden arches of McDonalds have become a ubiquitous metaphor for globalisation; previously in the economic sense, but perhaps now as a symbol of the global epidemic of ‘lifestyle’ diseases. There is an inherent irony in that the very symbols of prosperity and growth have become emblems for illness, in the developed world with growing incidence of chronic non-communicable diseases(NCDs).
In this issue of Vector, we consider the impact of non-communicable diseases in settings least equipped to bear the burden of mortality, morbidity and economic strain they impose. The challenges are immense. The multifactorial causes of NCDs require a shift in attitude, not just in local government policies but in the ethics of operation of industries, corporations and nations, and a shift in the perceptions of the global society as a whole."

"In this issue: we hear from students who have had the opportunity to connect with others from around the world who share a similar passion; we learn about the impact that the experience of going to a developing country and connecting with people there can have on a student’s perception of Health and Medicine; and we discover the effect that climate change has on global health, illustrating the necessity for health professionals to connect with people from other sectors.
We all come from different backgrounds, different states, and different schools, but we are connected through medicine, and it is important that we not only maintain this connection, but extend it to health in the broader context; global health.
We hope that vector magazine continues to encourage you to make these connections, and pursue your own goals in global health."

"If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go, and what would you do? Would you cross the Indian Ocean and head to Africa? Or would you stay local and tackle the issues on home soil? What about going north to Asia? From Leprosy to Aids, to providing the basics, our students have travelled far and wide; globetrotting their way through the issues facing global health today. There is so much to do, and in the life of a medical student, its seems not much time. However.. no effort is too small, and as you will see as you turn these pages - every effort counts."
