More about this course

Global Health aims to show us the big picture. Mistakenly, people assume that the target of “Global Health” involves mainly tackling problems in the developing world. Diseases and health problems do not recognize borders. All countries can learn from the experiences of other countries
Neglecting to address health problems in a global scale may affect people’s health, well-being and national security around the world including in developed countries such as the United States
