国際保健学/Global Health が扱うテーマは地球規模での健康問題であるが、自然科学・社会科学にまたがる様々なアプローチがどのように問題解決に寄与するのかを、大学院「国際保健学専攻」各分野のスタッフがそれぞれの経験を踏まえて解説する。一連の講義を通じて、Global Health の問題は途上国のみにとどまらず先進国も共に協働して取り組むことが必須になりつつあること、従来の医療や保健という場にとどまらない多様な領域の理解が必要であることに加えて、基礎科学的にも興味深い課題、重要な課題が数多く存在していることが実感されるであろう。

This course will introduce the fundamental structure of the health system, with a special focus on the role of health policy and governance in achieving higher performance. The design and analytical frameworks for health systems and policies, as well as critical global health issues will be introduced. By the end of this course, students are expected to be familiar with key health system challenges and corresponding policy options, and be able to apply the analytic frameworks and practical tools presented in this course to identify and address problems in health systems.

Food safety is a public health issue. With the aim of protecting consumer health, foods (including water) must be kept contaminant-free from farm to fork. The environment is a source of hazardous contaminants (i.e., biological, chemical, and physical) that could impair health resulting in malnutrition, morbidity, and mortality with the young (<5 years old), elderly, and immuno-compromised particularly vulnerable. Public health is, therefore, inextricably linked with environmental health. As such, programs for food safety assurance need to be holistic and transdisciplinary to be effective. The World Health Organization (1999) identifies the health sector as having the lead role in the implementation and coordination of programs on food safety. This requires an educated workforce that can identify environmental factors affecting food that impact consumer health. In this class, we will discuss food safety-related environmental hazards, their mode of contamination, and the underlying mechanism of the risk they pose to human health. Emerging and perennial foodborne illnesses will be discussed from the concept of One Health – a transdisciplinary approach of considering not only the issue at hand, but all the other upstream factors related to it. At the end of the class, students should be able to apply a holistic approach in understanding issues on food safety.
