GLBH 117Global Health and Non-Communicable Diseases
Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, obesity, cancer, lung diseases, and depression are a growing problem in low- and middle-income countries. NCDs present great challenges to global health, even considering the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The course explores the consequences of multimorbidity, aging and low access to health care on NCDs and social inequalities, and how to guide prevention efforts for NCD risk factors.
