The Impact of globalization on health in low-income countries This is in two parts but does not need headings Introduction • Give different definitions of what globalization is. • State the main argument of the assignment. • Outline content (dimension overview, main argument). Approximately 200 words Part one • Critically analyse the impact of globalization on health in low-income countries Please use countries from this site as it lists low-income, middle- and high-income countries. https://www.datahelpdesk.worldbank.org/knowledgebase/articles/906519-world-bank-country-and-lending-groups Pick several low-income countries to compare with middle/high income countries or both. Discusses at least 3 dimensions or linked dimensions and define each dimension and how they influence population health and compare health issues and discuss which population group is affected and why (inequalities). give statistics including Gini Index, human development index, mortality rates, prevalence, incidence, or other relevant indicators. Health issue used could be one or more Example Dimension 1 • What is it? (definition/explanation) • Example? • impact on health? (Which health issue) • Examples of countries + compare statistics • Different points of views • Populations affected? Why? • And apply framework/s to argument Dimension 2 SAME LAYOUT AS ABOVE Dimension 3 Same layout Examples of Dimensions Spatial, Temporal, Cognitive, Cultural, Technological, Political, Economic, Ecological An example of using the Framework (Do not Use this example) The spatial dimension on health has a significant impact on improving the proximal factors in the framework presented by Huynen MM, Martens P, Hilderink HB (2005). The framework is xxxx (explain with reference). For example the money sent by migrants to their families improve access to healthcare in Country Y (author, date). This is not always the case, because excessive migration from low income countries can lead to brain drain which undermines the healthcare system as a proximal factor, for example in Country Z and Country C migration statistics are xx (author, date). Approximately 1800 words Part Two Approximately 1000 words Critically evaluate Two specific health projects that aim to improve health within low-income countries. Discuss two different projects in one low-income country or two similar projects in two different countries. • Identify and briefly describe these projects. • Evaluate in relation to global guidelines, comment on how well they follow these Example of global guidelines Ottawa and Bangkok charter, sustainable development goals, closing the gap recommendations etc…. • Comment on their relative effectiveness • How likely is each project to address health inequalities? • Compare the evaluation of the two projects Example (Do not use) Add an introductory/connective paragraph to introduce the projects and the international guidelines (explain which guidelines briefly with reference). ? Project X: ? Project x was established in year xx in country xx to address the health issue of xxx (author, date). The project is composed of xxxxxxxxxx. The project follows part/all of the international guidelines on xxxx (author, dates). The aspects that were not covered are justified/not justified because xxxxx. Hence, it is likely to be effective in tackling xxx inequalities in this country due to xxxxx, while xxx inequalities will remain a concern. This is manifested in the statitics of xxx (author,date). ? Project Y ? Compare: Project x is different from project y in xxx, in terms of following xxxx guidelines. This could be due to xxx (for example income, culture). Another explanation is xxx. • Provide a final summary to conclude the argument No headings are needed as parts one and two should flow into each other • Reference list
