Comparative Health Systems Part II
GHP 203

Course Information

Description

GHP 203 is the second course in a two-course series on comparative health systems. While the first course (GHP 202) focuses on advanced economies, this course focuses on low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Compared to advanced economies, LMICs are more constrained in their financing, service delivery and institutional capacities. Their populations also have different needs and demands. Through in-depth country or comparative analyses, the course examines how LMICs at different stages of socioeconomic development finance and organize the delivery of their health care systems, analyzes the roles and failures of the government and the market and the consequences on the countries’ health care system performance.
