S7E17: Health Policy’s Role in Global Medicine and Future Practices
Description
Health policy refers to the decisions, plans, and actions taken to achieve specific health care goals within a society. Globally, health policy plays a pivotal role in addressing issues such as infectious diseases, access to care, and preventive health services. However, disparities persist, particularly in low- and middle-income communities, where funding constraints and misaligned priorities can significantly impact health outcomes.
Internal medicine resident Siale Teaupa joins Hạ and Alizah to discuss the complex world of health policy and global health. They explore how global health policies shape medical practices, the challenges arising from limited funding and resource allocation, and the changes needed to create more equitable and effective healthcare systems worldwide.
