This course will focus on health issues that transcend national boundaries and on regions disproportionately affected by poverty and ill-health. It will bring together participants to share experiences, and to further their understanding of the relationships between poverty, development, social and other determinants of health, and of global health emergencies. A series of case studies will be used to explore and illustrate these issues. Students will apply their learning to a global health priority area and develop a plan for a local intervention that contributes to improving global health.
| Objectives | On successful completion of the course, the student will be able to: 1. Critically evaluate health transitions and the relationships between poverty, development and other social determinants of health. 2. Develop a plan for an effective global health intervention. 3. Understand health impacts and prioritise actions in response to global emergencies and population displacement. |
