HLTH 2210 - Global Health and Wellness:Visions of Global Health Care

(3)
This course serves as an introduction to visions of how and when people care for each other drawing upon the fields of medical anthropology, global public health, and public policy. The course focuses upon different understandings of health care. In some societies being able to work is a central measure of being healthy. In another society if you are unhappy you are ill. These varied concepts are reflected in the kind of care offered around the world. Because responsible health-giving systems respond to societies’ changing needs and situations, students will learn about the skills needed for this kind of problem-solving, but also come to understand that there is an urgent and vital global need for the exchange of ideas and resources in global health care systems.
