The aim of the course is to familiarize students with the impacts of globalization on health status through national health and social care systems in economic, political, and socio-cultural contexts. Students should understand and navigate the possibilities of supranational cooperation within WHO, the EU, and the WTO, as well as non-governmental organizations and multinational corporations operating in this field. The extensive pandemic situation related to COVID-19 has highlighted the need for experts with a global perspective on public health. The course offers students a deeper understanding of factors influencing public health?economic, political, cultural, religious, and others. Students will gain an overview of analytical tools for assessing and conducting research on global health issues, including critical thinking focused on actors involved in control, monitoring, and comparison of different health systems from a global perspective. The program will focus on concrete real-world cases, enabling students to demonstrate their knowledge practically by proposing or commenting on possible theoretical, methodological, and research approaches in a written assignment, and to argue their findings during a credit interview. The course will also cover fundamental methodological and research principles based on health and social sciences, including ethics.
