2022W COVID 19 Countries Responses (MGA-6834-1)

This course looks at the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on virtually every nation of the world. It has challenged each nation to seriously inquire into its public health practices, its border control, its economic priorities, and its social justice assumptions. The course aims to discuss several aspects of the COVID-19 pandemic including a basic overview of ethical decision making, fundamental concepts of epidemiology, and models of health system design and delivery. There will be an examination of country responses to the COVID-19 pandemic with respect to ethics, epidemiological concepts, and health care design. The insights gained will assist students in conducting a comparative analysis of various nations' assumptions and priorities supporting their health policy decisions, along with some of the impacts of those decisions. 12-01-2022-06-04-2022 Lecture Wednesday 05:30PM - 08:30PM, SDU Main Bldg, Room 420
