We will explore the most pressing disease and health care problems, and critically discuss efforts to address them. The course will identify the main social, environmental, political and economic factors that shape global health, and discuss its development from a historical perspective. We will further examine the role of major stakeholders in global health, such as international health organizations, governments, and civil society. Using case studies, students will develop knowledge of successful health interventions and remaining challenges in global health.
