Esse curso é excelente para quem está em busca de aprender mais sobre a saúde global. Tem tópicos atualizados e os professores são excelentes!
A very complete and solid review of basic global health concepts. The data need to be updated as most of them are for 2013 and MDGs. Overall a well made course.
This course not only takes the time to explain the topics clearly and concisely they also take the time to explain the simple things like the roots of the words.
A very beneficial course for people seeking to gain knowledge in the field of Global Health or Healthcare in general
