Module Overview:
Public health as an approach has an affirmative obligation to protect and promote the health of people and reduce the social disparities and inequities within populations. This module explores the principles of ethics and human rights in relation to public health policies, programmes and practice, and humanitarian interventions, through a focus on issues such as conflict and displacement, reproductive and sexual health, HIV/AIDS and food insecurity. The 8 individual sessions and associated discussions provide students the opportunity to re-think the ethical and moral foundations of their every-day public health practice.
