I need to make a health system in a python game

I'm planning to add a health system in a python game. I want it to be in a game_state['']. How would I go about making the health system relative to the damage you've taken?

Like this:

    print "Your health is", game_state['health']
    print "Zombie attacks"
    global health = game_state['health'] - 10
    print "Your health is", game_state['health'] - 10

Would something like that work? Can I use global?

(In response to the questioner's comment on an earlier answer) This is how you could implement health with a class.

import os
class GameStatus:
    def __init__(self):
        self.health = 100
    def reduce_health(self):
        self.health -= 10
        if self.health <= 0:
            game_over()

def main_game():
    game_status = GameStatus()
    #...
    # when player gets hurt
    game_status.reduce_health()
    # ...

def game_over():
    print ('"game over, sorry"')
    os._exit(1)

As I said this is overkill, especially if you have a single game loop and probably only need to check the health once at the end of each loop, but potentially useful if you start adding more complexity.

Are you trying to do this?

game_state['health'] = game_state['health'] - 10
