Description

Applying best practice principles in global health ensures the maximum beneficial impact of any global health endeavor. This webinar focuses on the importance of best practices in global health. Good intentions are not enough, and pitfalls must be avoided. Access to care is extremely complex. What prevents patients from seeking care? What barriers exist beyond financial, transportation, and education barriers to care? When free care is offered and the provider believes that all barriers are eliminated, what prevents patients from following through with care? What adherence issues exist for medication? Programs can have the best medication and technologies, but if not accessed or used appropriately by the patients, the care is worthless and can actually cause harm.
