Western Michigan University
Exploring Health & Healthcare Systems in South Africa

Contact:
 
This course will focus on current public health and healthcare issues in South Africa, especially within the Nelson Mandela Metropol in the Eastern Cape. One of the most beautiful countries in the world, South Africa is currently under extreme healthcare duress, leading the world in HIV infection and experiencing a host of other public health-related factors, including poverty, violence, alcoholism, and HIV-related infections. The country has experienced great strides following a long history of segregation associated with Apartheid. However, public health systems, including healthcare, continue to be a disparity for cultures within South Africa. Much of this is related practices that evolved due to Apartheid, however, rich cultural traditions also play key factors in how native populations approach preventative health and healthcare. The proposed program is designed to not only provide students with a global understanding of the complexities that exist within international health practices, but also serve as a platform for providing a deeper understanding of the consequences of health disparities as it relates to our own cultures.
