About This Course
This course introduces students to global health policy and practice through themes of governance, security, development, equity, and environmental change. We critically analyse how globalisation affects health determinants and outcomes, including global health architecture, financing mechanisms, global disease burden, infectious disease control, humanitarian responses to conflicts and disasters, and environmental threats. Our goal is to explore strategies for addressing contemporary global health issues.
What You'll Learn
At the end of this course, students will be able to:
1. Critically describe global health governance and architecture, including how globalisation has shaped current disease trends, and the roles of institutional actors and existing or proposed partnerships and agreements in addressing global health issues.
2. Analyse key global health challenges, including infectious and non-communicable diseases, health disparities, healthcare financing and access, conflict and disasters, migration, and environmental change.
3. Critique how complex and inter-related socio-political and commercial determinants of health contribute to health and wealth inequities within and between countries, and propose evidence-informed approaches for promoting health equity and improving population health worldwide.
