You are a member of a newly formed World Health Organization (WHO) committee with a task to re-evaluate existing WHO strategies/approaches and improve the health of the global population. Your task is to address a specific health problem and draft a report on it. These reports will serve as background information for discussion and as input for the final WHO recommendation on the issue. As a student member of WHO, you are expected to write such a study.
All reports should cover the following topics:
- Global patterns of the health problem
- Discuss the key health status indicators and how the health problems are measured
- Biological, lifestyle/behavioural and social determinants of the health problem
- Discuss and provide examples of the global burden of disease and how it is measured (i.e., HALE, DALY), outline the patterns and trends in the burden of disease
- Formulate a strategy that should be chosen to tackle this health problem (make sure to offer a suggestion for improvement of current WHO strategies).
- Health, education, equity and the economy concerns should be addressed
- Reflect on the ethical and political consequences of addressing the problem based on your recommendations
