Create a 7 to 15-minute video in which you present strategies, programs, or policies related to improving outcomes for your chosen global health issue and reflect on the experience of advocating to a chosen audience. In this assessment, you will report on your experience developing strategies, programs, and policies toward improving outcomes related to your chosen global health issue. Part of the assessment will require you to present at a meeting of a relevant professional organization or at a meeting with a relevant government official. Be sure you budget the time to complete this aspect of the assessment. A variety of national and international documents guides policy development across the globe. In the United States, Healthy People 2020 provides goals and a vision for “a society in which all people live long, healthy lives” (HealthyPeople.gov, n.d., “Vision,” para. 1). The United States also has a guiding document to inform health policy at the international level. In its global health initiative, the United States outlines health and human services priorities that guide the funding and program development for more than 80 countries (KFF, 2017). Finally, at the international level, the United Nations’ MDGs guide the efforts of local governments and external funding sources to meet not only health needs but also social needs of developing countries (Merson, Black, & Mills, 2012). The SDGs will continue the work of the MDGs. Though consensus documents help to inform health policy, funding for programs is imperative if benefits are to be sustained over time. For this assessment, you will continue that discovery as you learn about the role global health initiatives have in supporting and formulating public policy in the health sector. Even if policy and funding are in place, health programs can fail if social and cultural concerns are not addressed. References HealthyPeople.gov. (n.d.). About Healthy People.
