COVID 19 as A Global Health Problem

Your group are members of newly formed WHO committee with a task to reconsider existing WHO strategies and improve the health of the global population. Your task is to address a specific health problem and draft a report on it. These reports will serve as background information for discussion and as input for the final WHO recommendation on the issue. Students as members of this committee have to write such a study. You can choose any global health problem and write a paper. The paper should be coherently structured, show your understanding of the topic and have adequate referencing.

All reports should cover the following topics:

• Global patterns of the health problem
• Biological, lifestyle/ behavioral and social determinants of the health problem
• Formulate a strategy that should be chosen to tackle this health problem (make sure to offer a suggestion for improvement of current WHO strategies).
• Reflect on the ethical and political consequences of addressing the problem in the proposed way

Paper Structure:

Introduction- Introducing the health problem, aim of the paper and explanation of the structure

Main Part– You can structure that according to your own preferences; cover the topics mentioned before

Discussion and Conclusion- Reflect on the paper findings and recap the main point.

Reference list- APA style

– Write a paper of 2500-3000 words and minimum 15 references (max 3 of the references can be websites)

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
