Globalization and Health
Globalization is viewed with very different eyes depending whether one is running a multinational company or an individual suffering with HIV/AIDS in rural Africa. In this session we look at different aspects of globalization on health. We look at health indicators across a wide range of countries, we look at the role of the United Nations in facilitating equity in a time of globalization, and we look at issues of growth and the impact of trade barriers on health.
