Лучшие отзывы о курсе ВСЕМИРНАЯ ОХРАНА ЗДОРОВЬЯ: МЕЖДИСЦИПЛИНАРНЫЙ ОБЗОР
New information on global health, but it is more appreciated if you use non-confusing jargon/words placement, especially on tick the options part.
This course is very challenging and prolific. It has really widen my knowledge in the Health sector and I hope to study an upgrade of it in future. Many thanks to all the course instructors.
This course not only takes the time to explain the topics clearly and concisely they also take the time to explain the simple things like the roots of the words.
A very complete and solid review of basic global health concepts. The data need to be updated as most of them are for 2013 and MDGs. Overall a well made course.
