Lesson 5 constitutes the core lesson of module 3. This lesson focuses on the current global situation and future challenges for the most prominent infectious diseases of the world.

Part: 6

Title:Foreign Policy, Trade and Health

Description:Health policy has undergone profound changes during the last few decades. Although health has for a long time been an issue in international relations, it was for most of the 20th century perceived as a national and technical matter. This meant that solutions to health problems were seen to require primarily scientific and technological collaboration rather than political commitment. Along with the dramatic changes associated with globalisation, health is increasingly seen as a higher priority on international political agendas.

Part: 7

Title:Research, Development, Innovation and Technology for Global Health

Description:This module addresses the lack of attention to research and development for medicines and technologies for diseases that disproportionately affect developing countries and all the issues related to drug development and intellectual property rights.

Part: 8

Title:The Environment, Sustainable Development and Health

Description:In this module we consider the relationship between the environment, sustainable development and health.
