Course Objectives
While urbanization is associated with improvements in health and development, it can also produce some negative consequences – unhealthy lifestyles, environmental degradation, and social inequities. This situation is most problematic in developing countries, against a background of unplanned growth, struggling health systems and lack of commensurate basic services for many.
This online course aims to teach the fundamentals of Urban Health, especially applicable to low– and middle-income country settings. It is a basic level course and aims to introduce fundamental concepts of urban public health and sensitise participants to the unique health problems in such settings.
