Les malalties tropicals desateses - Enfocament de salut públicaLas enfermedades tropicales desatendidas - Enfoque de salud públicaNeglected tropical diseases – Public health approach  (3109G01062)

The majority of the neglected tropical illnesses are endemic in the rural zones of Africa in the south of the Sahara and in the poor urban zones of the countries of low income of Asia and Latin America.They drive, the disfigurement, the deficient child growth, the adverse results in the pregnancy and the reduced economic productivity, to the long-term disability.Its impact in the productivity of the workers is of thousands of millions of lost dollars every year and countries of basses maintain income in the poverty.Approaching the tropical illnesses neglected from a perspective of public health often imply negotiations for not only our fundamental interests, but also beliefs about the needs and priorities of public health, and as the government and the society should be working to obey to these needs and priorities.

Determinants socials i estructurals de la salutDeterminantes sociales y estructurales de la saludSocial and Structural Determinants of Health  (3109G01066)

Rudolph Wirchow and Frederick Engels pointed out in the 19th century that capitalism in itself can undermine health.According to the WHO the social determiners of health are the conditions in which people are born, grow, live, work and age.These circumstances are determined by distribution of money, power and resources in global, national and local plans.On the other hand the structural determiners of health are considered, not only access to these resources but also control and ownership of these resources, as conditions associated with having real control over resources that are fundamental for health and well-being. Taking into account that modern biomedicine is usually reluctant to reflect on social questions, this optional module aims to introduce the concept of social medicine, social inequality, well-being and ecosocial causes of illness.The aim is to overcome the limitations of the positivist and reductionist perspectives common to traditional clinical medicine and to public health.

Medicina del medi naturalMedicina del medio naturalWilderness Medicine  (3109G01067)

Medicine of the natural environment is a discipline that responds to the need to provide health services to people far from urban health resources and in often hostile natural environments (in extreme nature or environmental conditions that are out of control, in areas with no or insufficient resources, or in areas where there is a substantial delay in the transport or arrival of definitive medical attention).Environmental factors affect the patient’s physiology and the course of illnesses.In extreme situations resources are limited and in difficult environments the ideal treatment dictated by medical guidelines may not be the most suitable in the specific situation and sometimes emphasis on improvisation is required.In these situations a delay is produced in access to definitive medical attention due to distance, logistics or hazards.Medical professionals dedicated to this discipline must perform beyond their role as a traditional doctor and use the skills typically assigned to other healthcare professionals.These skills include, among others, triage, preparation of a

Determinants socials i estructurals de la salutDeterminantes sociales y estructurales de la saludSocial and Structural Determinants of Health  (3109G01066)

Rudolph Wirchow and Frederick Engels pointed out in the 19th century that capitalism in itself can undermine health.According to the WHO the social determiners of health are the conditions in which people are born, grow, live, work and age.These circumstances are determined by distribution of money, power and resources in global, national and local plans.On the other hand the structural determiners of health are considered, not only access to these resources but also control and ownership of these resources, as conditions associated with having real control over resources that are fundamental for health and well-being. Taking into account that modern biomedicine is usually reluctant to reflect on social questions, this optional module aims to introduce the concept of social medicine, social inequality, well-being and ecosocial causes of illness.The aim is to overcome the limitations of the positivist and reductionist perspectives common to traditional clinical medicine and to public health.

Medicina del medi naturalMedicina del medio naturalWilderness Medicine  (3109G01067)

Medicine of the natural environment is a discipline that responds to the need to provide health services to people far from urban health resources and in often hostile natural environments (in extreme nature or environmental conditions that are out of control, in areas with no or insufficient resources, or in areas where there is a substantial delay in the transport or arrival of definitive medical attention).Environmental factors affect the patient’s physiology and the course of illnesses.In extreme situations resources are limited and in difficult environments the ideal treatment dictated by medical guidelines may not be the most suitable in the specific situation and sometimes emphasis on improvisation is required.In these situations a delay is produced in access to definitive medical attention due to distance, logistics or hazards.Medical professionals dedicated to this discipline must perform beyond their role as a traditional doctor and use the skills typically assigned to other healthcare professionals.These skills include, among others, triage, preparation of a
