HLSC 4803U – Global Health


As the world becomes more interdependent and the health of individuals and the health of nations are increasingly inter-related, global health is of vital concern. Global health has been widely accepted as an area for study, research and practices that prioritize improving health for all people around the world, where such efforts rely heavily on transnational cooperation. Based on this central theme, this course introduces students to the fundamental concepts in understanding, measuring and priority setting in past, current and future global health burdens and issues. Students are exposed to the intricate relationship among social, environmental, economic and political determinants of health, as well as the role of global players in this relationship.
