Lecture on Impacts of ASEAN Regional Integration on Health and Health Care for Students of Master Program in Global Health, Thammasat University
2 December, 2016 @ 2:00 pm - 5:00 pm
The lecture to be given by the Founder and Executive Director of SEA Junction, Rosalia Sciortino for students of the MPH in Global Health on 2 December at 2-5pm at SEA Junction will provide an analysis of the impacts of ASEAN regional integration on health and health care in the region. It will discuss the suggested benefits and the potential risk of increased liberalization and commercialization of health care at the regional level. In particular it will be argued that the proposed trade in health products and services could have the following impacts
- Exacerbate already substantial disparities in health and health care, with concentration of resources in profit-making areas;
- Exacerbate mal-distribution of personnel
- Rising prices of products and services (transaction costs, third agents)
- Conflict of interest
- Disempowerment of patients and civil society
The MPH (Global Health) provides graduates with: broad and holistic public health perspectives and critical thinking, knowledge, skills, and analytical capabilities; necessary for individuals to assume effective leadership in global health practice and governance; and to protect and promote the health of diverse populations at national, bilateral and multilateral levels.
The students will be lead by their lecturer, Visiting Professor Fabio Saini.
