This course provides an overview of global maternal and child health and examines MCH health needs, programs, services, and policies globally with a focus on the Global South/low-middle income economies. The work completed throughout the semester will have three areas of focus: (1) disease burden among MCH populations and the social, political, cultural, and economic determinants of health; (2) sources of data for the assessment of maternal and child health needs; and (3) heath system and workforce development to address the needs of MCH populations.
