Health System Development, a Global Perspective: Identifying Core Elements of Equitable Healthcare

1 credits · Undergraduate

Health systems worldwide all have the same goal: produce health in their population that is equitably distributed. Yet, when examining how different countries set up their health systems, different mechanisms are discovered to accomplish the same goal. Given this diversity of approaches, the answer to the question of 'What are the core elements of an equitable healthcare system AND how do you implement those elements?' can be elusive. This course is offered within the Focus Program as part of the Global Health: Problems and Paradigms cluster. There are no prerequisites and no previous background in health, global health, or health systems is required.
