Course description

Learn about how we can safeguard the health of women and young people
6 weeks

Each year, there are roughly 10 million mostly preventable newborn, child, adolescent, maternal, and foetal deaths. These demographics are some of the most vulnerable around the world and urgently need better health outcomes.
On this course you’ll learn from experts at the World Health Organisation and the MARCH Centre how to analyse the latest data and evidence pertaining to the human life cycle – from birth to adulthood.
You’ll understand how this ‘lifecycle thinking’ can help us take action over women’s health and children’s health in the context of the Sustainable Development Goals for 2030.

The health of adolescents and young people
Reproductive health and what it means to make every birth wanted
The health of women during pregnancy, whilst giving birth and during the postnatal period
Newborns and stillbirths in the global health agenda
The health of children and the progress made to reduce their mortality.

Investigate health across the lifecycle, from newborn to child, to adolescents and women, in areas of the world where the burden of disease is highest
Engage with how different stages of the lifecycle affect each other
Evaluate the evidence on what causes poor health outcomes and what is known about how to prevent them

This course is designed for healthcare professionals, undergraduate students taking a healthcare or science-related degree, medical students and postgraduates wishing to complement their studies, and anyone else with an interest in the topic.
