Unit 4 –Global Health And Development

1. Unit 4 –Global Health And Development

2. Area of study 1INTRODUCING GLOBAL HEALTH AND DEVELOPMENT In this study students explore global health, human development and sustainability and their interdependencies. They identify similarities and differences in the health status between people living in developing countries and Australians, and analyse reasons for the differences. The role of the United Nations Millennium Development Goals is investigated in relation to achieving sustainable improvements in health status and human development

3. Area of Study 1: Outcome 1 • Key knowledge - This knowledge includes: • definitions of developed and developing countries according to the WHO, including high/low mortality strata; • definitions of sustainability and human development according to the UN, including the human development index; • similarities and differences in health status and human development between developing countries and Australia inrelation to morbidity, mortality, life expectancy, burden of disease and human development index; • the influence of income, gender equality, peace, education, access to healthcare, political stability, global marketing and physical environments on the health status of developing countries and Australia;

4. Area of Study 1: Outcome 1 Key skills - These key skills include the ability to: • define human development and sustainability concepts; • use, interpret and analyse data to draw informed conclusions about the health status and human development of developing countries compared to Australia; • compare factors that influence the health status and human development of Australia and developing countries;

8. Can you live on $2 a day? Number your list in order of priority for survival

9. Can you live on $2 a day? If you only had $2 a day or $14 a week to survive, how would you spend it (include breakdown of your spending)?

10. Can you live on $2 a day? Do you realistically think you could survive on $2 a day?

11. Can you live on $2 a day? How does this make you feel?

13. Brainstorm on the board What things would you look for when determining if a country is developed or developing?

24. Are these examples of ‘developed’ or ‘developing’ countries?

25. ‘Developing’ countries

26. Characteristics of developing countries • Low GDP • Less access to technology • Poor industry • Limited trade arrangements • Infrastructure poorly developed • Business and finance weak • High rates of poverty – debt, colonisation, war, conflict, natural disasters • Limited health care facilities • Low literacy • Little or no social security • Short life expectancy • High morbidity • Low immunisation • Low literacy

27. ‘Developed’ countries

28. Characteristics of developed countries

29. Developing • A country that has not progressed adequately with regard to economic, mortality and demographic factors • Developed • A country that has progressed adequately with regard to economic, mortality and demographic indicators

30. Who has the responsibility of classifying a country as DEVELOPED or DEVELOPING?

31. How the WHO classifies countries • The WHO uses two methods to classify countries • Broad Grouping Method • Mortality Strata Method

32. Broad Grouping • Classifies countries into 3 levels • Developed • Low mortality developing • High mortality developing • This method is based on: • mortality patterns • Geographical location • Economic and demographic development • These categories can then be used to guide policies and interventions aimed at improving the overall level of development of each country.

33. Broad Grouping

34. Mortality Strata The WHO has arranged countries (190) into 5 categories. It focuses on Child Mortality Rates (children under 5/ U5MR) and Adult male mortality rates (15-59 years old) Classifying these countries by mortality rate alone puts them with other countries experiencing similar health outcomes.

35. Mortality Strata • Countries that are classified as strata level A can be considered developed. • Strata D or E can be considered developing. • Strata B or C is more difficult to classify as they have low mortality but still face a number of barriers to their health status and economic development. But they are Developing.
