Effective Disease Response
This course offers Public Health capacity building for health professionals in developing countries. It builds on the course “Public Health The Basics” to provide examples of the practice of Public Health in understanding the burden, causes and interventions to control diseases, and how to evaluate Public Health interventions. The first section identifies the burden of illness, disease causation and the evidence base and policy options for interventions to reduce the population burden of illness. Crucial in the development of effective interventions is their evaluation.
