Introduction
Global health aims to promote health and prevent and treat diseases globally. It transcends geographical, national and cultural boundaries by targeting populations in all countries. However, there is no universally accepted definition of global health, and our concept of global health has shifted over the years. There are also many interconnected factors and determinants that affect individual and global health. As will be discussed in this course, we must understand and examine these factors in order to systematically address them.
Aims
This course aims to introduce the concept of global health, its history and the interconnected systems and determinants that affect health outcomes.
