Welcome to the course
Welcome to our course, Global Health and Disability. Your Lead Educators are Hannah Kuper, Director of the International Centre for Evidence in Disability at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, and Myroslava Tataryn, alumnus of the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine. Let’s begin!
Why are we here?This three-week course is brought to you by the International Centre for Evidence in Disability at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine. The course aims to raise awareness about the importance of health and well-being of people with disabilities in the context of the global development agenda: leaving no one behind.
What will we learn?- What is disability?
- Why is it important to the global development agenda?
- Why are health, wellbeing, and disability linked?
- How can access to health and rehabilitation services for people with disabilities be improved?
We will use a variety of learning techniques including videos, articles, discussions and simple ways to test your learning. You will hear from people with disabilities and their families, health and rehabilitation professionals, public health academics and international development stakeholders, who will all share their knowledge and experience with you.
