Curso en Global Health Foundations

Presentación

Presentación

COVID-19 pandemic has revealed serious weaknesses in the healthcare system of most EU member states. In addition, this unprecedented global crisis has also highlighted the importance of public health interventions in basic and applied research, and the emergence of global health threats and challenges that have to be addressed. The pandemic has also brought to the fore the lack of adequate policies that support the advancement of scientific knowledge able to provide plans and tools to achieve adequate medical and socio-economic responses.
Global Health is a term including the complex interaction of biomedical, ecological, social and institutional determinants, between others. Thus, we will introduce the main topics in global health and the science behind the multiple interacting disciplines able to respond to the great new challenges and priorities in global health. These challenges include tackling antibiotic resistance, fighting against transmissible (COVID-19, AIDS, malaria, tuberculosis, etc.) and non-transmissible (cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular and mental) diseases, coping with the impact of pollution and climate change on health, guaranteeing access to healthy food, and reducing global health inequities
through solidarity, responsibility and coordination in health matters.
Finally, and considering that the resolution of complex global health problems requires interdisciplinary solutions, One Health will be introduced as the growing global strategy that recognizes the interconnected nature of human, animal and environmental issues to improve healthcare and sustainability challenges.
