This course has covered a wide range of global health topics in an understandable form. I am very satisfied by completing the course but of course with loads of thoughts on the varied issues.

Great course, really informative. Only downside is some of the data is now outdated, however still relevant and allows for personal research into how health has changed/not changed since.

Excelente curso, por el momento solo disponible en inglés tanto para audio como para subtítulos, sin embargo al ser un contenido técnico en la mayor parte se puede seguir de forma sencilla con un nivel intermedio del idioma.

Los ponentes ofrecen una perspectiva amplia y muy buena de los retos y temáticas que atañen a la salud global en el siglo XXI, así como las múltiples estrategias y enfoques que se han utilizado para abordar estas problemáticas de salud, que se hacen cada vez más complejas e intersectoriales.

Es un curso que vale la pena, el único pero es que esta ligeramente desactualizado, quizás un par de años, por lo que parte de la estadística y datos son obsoletos, sin embargo, proporciona elementos para poder abordar los reportes globales más recientes y poder auto-actualizar el curso.

Ampliamente recomendado, muchas gracias.

I really enjoyed the course for the broad-based coverage of the multiple aspects of global health. The format of the course is also very engaging with multiple different experts covering their individual areas by means of short lectures and interviews. As a trained life sciences professional, I was particularly interested in the social and policy/diplomacy aspects of public health and this course provided me with a good exposure to the basics as well as access to more in-depth resources. My only suggestion for improving the course further would be to update the course material as a lot of the suggested reading content regarding directives, WHO reports, etc. are now almost 5 years old.

I very much enjoyed this course. I only wish I could get a copy of the refereces used in each lecture. I briefly notice at the end of a lecture a slide but it quickly disappeared. Additionally, the WHO sites have been updated and links are no longer operational. Thank you!

The content is very useful to know/read contextual introduction to burden of disease globally. It gives insights to learn and explore burden of CDs and NCDs in cross continental fashion. Useful to those who keen interested to have introductory knowledge in global health.

I believe that the course needs updating. Several 'hot links' are not operable and lecturers quoting studies that are over ten years old are not helpful.

Overall, I did enjoy the content and look forward to more study in this Public Health area. Thank you

I really enjoyed this course as it was an interesting blend of lectures, readings with practice quizzes and case studies. It gave me an overall understanding of the global health issues and I will refer to it whenever I need a revision.

A very informational course. Gives a good overview of the concept. Only if they add recent developments and updates on infectious diseases like Zika and Ebola, it would be great.

It is a very interesting course. It would need more recent updates of some modules, especially after Covid19 pandemic has developed as a big global health challenge.

Somethings should be updated to newer developments or files published by the UN. Great course overall! I really enjoyed it and it was the perfect pace/amount of work.
