This course will provide an intensive, case-based introduction to global health policy. Students will simulate working on teams asked to advise Ministries of Health in low- and middle-income countries and other global policymaking institutions grappling with health policy questions. Over a series of four cases, the course will introduce students to key concepts in health policy and economics, including allocating scarce resources, pandemic response, financial incentives to shape provider behaviors, and policies to influence the private sector to improve population health. Students will also become familiar with the major actors and institutions that shape international health policy.
