GBH 654

GBH 654 Global Health Law is an advanced special topic course determined by the student’s
needs and interests in consultation with the Public Health faculty member. This course explores
global health challenges and concepts of health laws and human rights applicable to global
health. Students learn about the crucial diplomatic, political, social, and economic forces that
influence global health law’s scope, substance, and structure. Moreover, through this course,
students learn that global health law is so vital that its importance ranges from the imperative of
protecting population health to national security, economic prosperity, and sustainable
development through to normative commitments to human rights and social justice in relation to
global health. (Formerly GBH 654 Advanced Special Topics in International Public Health).
