Global health care delivery: Principles and challenges

Understanding global health in a modern, globalised world has never been more challenging or significant. Global health lies at the nexus of global patterns of biological and social disorder and the need for effective, integrated and practical global health care delivery is crucial and immediate.

You will explore global health care delivery using a practical, human rights based approach. It will include critical analysis of the impacts of globalisation on human health, postcolonial frameworks for global health understanding and the governance structures that oversee global health.

It will also analyse factors contribute to global health inequality and assist in development of intercultural competence. Topics for discussion will include: barriers to migrant and refugee health care; the impacts of development, AID and colonisation on global health care; the relationships between neoliberalism and neglected diseases; and the successes and failures of global health governance.
