TOP REVIEWS FROM AN INTRODUCTION TO GLOBAL HEALTH
I really learnt alot on introduction to global health, from learning the greatest challenges in healthcare to Global burden of diseases. The course was quite helpful.
A very informational course. Gives a good overview of the concept. Only if they add recent developments and updates on infectious diseases like Zika and Ebola, it would be great.
The course was very informative. I personally got to know many different things about various diseases and how they are tackled all around the world
Great overview course, wide variety of topics and lecturers. Highly recommend for anyone seeking an introduction to the study of global health.
