Description

This course will examine world-wide public health as both an economic imperative and a human right. The Millennium Development Goals were established by the WTO Doha Ministerial Declaration in 2001 to define public health objectives in the least developed nations – disease control, clean water, sanitation, a sustainable food supply. Maternal and child health and gender equality were other important objectives. The course is intended to give students an understanding of the roles played by major international organizations in the achievement of those goals in Sub Saharan Africa and elsewhere – the UN, WHO, UNESCO, WTO, World Bank, IMF, Non-governmental Organizations (NGOs) and transnational corporations. In addition, the course will identify international and domestic laws that affect the achievement of those goals.
