GPH Course: Disease Elimination and Eradication Strategies for Infectious Diseases in LMICs

GPH’s Global & Environmental Public Health Program, in collaboration with the Global Institute for Disease Elimination (GLIDE), developed a hybrid course in “Disease Elimination and Eradication Strategies for Infectious Diseases in LMICs.'' It consisted of online modules on the principles and history of disease elimination and eradication, ethics and human rights, case studies on the prevention and treatment of neglected tropical diseases, integrated approaches to disease elimination and eradication, and an introduction to systems thinking.
