Very good, timely and interesting course. I really enjoyed it and learned a lot. Tough enough course though. Sometimes hard to understand the accents of the presenters.
It was one of the most comprehensive prelude of global health by experts in very understandable manner
Fun and Interesting Course! Learned a bunch of stuff I hadn't really known and put together in my mind prior to this course. Thanks to all of y'all who put this course together. Dr Quincy
New information on global health, but it is more appreciated if you use non-confusing jargon/words placement, especially on tick the options part.
