Economics and Global Health
The tutorial on “Economics and Global Health”, helps to enhance understanding on how
global health is impacted by the economy. Health is very important services that cut across
borders. Different countries have different healthy systems and different forms of financing the
services they render (Kaiser Family Foundation. (2013). Therefore, it is very important to
understand how this economic system operates in the quest of providing better services. The
economic situations in different countries do vary and therefore affects the services that are
provided.
This tutorial therefore relates to what we have already learned in our class about
economy and health. It is evident that the country economic performance impacts on the health
services provided, developed economies have a better and a well functioning health system that
renders better services. Therefore, it is important to consider financial aspects when seeking for
medical treatment in different countries. In most cases, quality comes at a cost and this applies to
healthcare provision.
