Great course, really informative. Only downside is some of the data is now outdated, however still relevant and allows for personal research into how health has changed/not changed since.

I am glad and fortunate that I have joined the course. Thank you for clearing my doubts and reshaping my skills and knowledge regarding Global Health. I have learnt various sociodemographic characteristics affecting health within a community. Also, it deepens my knowledge in the field of Communicable and Non-Communicable Diseases and their Global burden.

Excellent course; lots to learn and think about - gives a great overview of the complexities of global health as a discipline. Only thing I would say needs updating is that the course was created before the COVID-19 pandemic, which had a huge impact on global health and therefore needs addressing in this context.

This course is amazing one throwing global health issues and the need for containing/eliminating for the betterment of human beings. The health equity has been very well brought about by the UN and WHO and the efforts towards that is something which needs to be saluted.

A great, yet thorough introduction to the subject Global Health. Level of complexity is well adjusted and you will achieve analytic, evaluative skills along knowledge on the main subject area.
