Political Economy Analysis and Institutional Relationships | Next global health session 26th june

For most health detriments the epidemiology and best policy interventions are evident, however implementation of mitigating strategies often does not occur effectively. Analyses of involved institutions and the political economy can help understand how and why decisions get made and what needs to be considered to secure successful agency for health issues in a given context.

Join us for our next session (28.6. at 7pm, Seminarraum 4, Sauerbruchweg 3) on Political Economy and Public Health Struggles taking a closer look at the Framework Convention on To***co Control.

You can access the two readings for the session through the following links:

We meet every other week on Tuesday, 6 pm, at the Charité Campus Mitte, Sauerbruchweg 3, Innere Medizin, Seminarraum 4. Our Sessions usually last for about 1.5 hours. We’ll be sending out some articles in preparation for each session and will be combining short input presenations, expert visits and room for open discussion. Find the semester outline for all the sessions below.

Our first introductory session (no prior reading required) will be on May 3rd, 6.pm at Charité Campus Mitte, Sauerbruchweg 3, Innere Medizin, Seminarraum 4. The room is hard to find, enter the main foyer and take the stairs up to the first floor, then follow our signs.

That being said, the work of the Global Health AG is not limited to the Journal Club meetings but has further sparked multiple initiatives in the past which continue to work in various directions all aiming at improving global health. We’d love to welcome you to our first session and are excited to get to know your ideas and thoughts.
