Global Health
Health and wellbeing infrastructures differ from nation to nation, and the concept of health, both physical and mental, is envisaged uniquely by each.
Following the COVID-19 pandemic, it has become apparent now, more than ever, that healthcare systems around the world are unprepared to tackle large scale unforeseen medical emergencies. From systems and practices of medicine, to international protocols on bio-hazards or pandemics, global health requires discussion and re-structuring.
Issues We Are Currently Working On
- The need for a global pandemic or health protocol
- AI and healthcare
- Absence of primary healthcare centres
- Accepted standards of healthcare and medicine
- Telemedicine and healthcare apps
- The WHO and its legal standing
