PAHS 316 — Socio-Cultural Dimensions of Health
Public Administration and Health Services Management · University of Ghana
The purpose of this course is to help students understand health from a cross-cultural perspective. It is to give students an insight into the spread of globalization and its related multi-complex linkages in the spheres of environmental, economic, political, technological and social changes and their effect on health. Topics include culture and health, issues in global health, inequalities in global health systems, changing determinants of health and key players in global health governance. It is expected that at the end of this course, students will be able to demonstrate how the global environmental and economic changes invariably impinge on health and healthcare delivery, and how socio-cultural changes in life style affect the health of a population.
