Internationality is nowadays a field of interest for any scientific branch. Moreover, in medicine, delivery of healthcare should be assured at international and supranational level, as health involves the whole mankind. Therefore, throughout the history and also for the future to come, protection of both individual and public health should necessarily involve international relations. The present study aims at outlining from a postmodernist perspective - the relationship between global health protection and the international relations it assumes. Healthcare is not only an international issue, it also grants international security. Health and disease have always been two paradigms of global welfare and, consequently, fighting diseases preserves the ecological balance on earth. Therefore, development of better international relations is the key through which the international policies on health should grant global individual and social welfare.
