GENERAL INFORMATION |
|
The International Course in Health Development (ICHD) considers health as part of the well being of a society: it is a necessary condition for development, but at the same time a result of it. Health status is influenced by health services in the broadest sense. Resources are limited and therefore choices have to be made within the health sector and between the health and other sectors. The ICHD has to be seen as one step in learning how in these decisions the elements of • accessibility to adequate care, • sustainability in the existing and emerging socio-economic context, • the need to offer an adequate response to felt needs, • participation and • enhancement of self-determination and self-reliance can be balanced
|
|
OBJECTIVES |
|
The ICHD helps health officers and health planners to deal adequately with management and planning problems of health systems in the context of comprehensive development. This translates into the following objectives: • To enable health professionals to deal with problems in the field of management, organisation and planning of health care delivery systems. • To enable health professionals to analyse and appraise specific health problems and to formulate appropriate control strategies. • To develop the capacities, skills and practical knowledge necessary to function as generalist public health professionals. • To provide insight in important fields of other disciplines relevant to public health and to facilitate a trans-disciplinary dialogue . • To improve the health professionals’ skills in communication and coaching and to enhance their self-learning capacity |

Formerly “International

Development” (ICHD)
general inForMation
Public health is the resultant of many forces. At the department of public health (ITM- Antwerp) we have specialised on the role health care providers can play in promoting individuals’ and populations’ health. Improving the organisation and management of health services and understanding the role of policies and politics in health systems’ development are the main focuses of our departments’ work and this course.
“System” is understood as the grounds on which all players (professionals, government institutions, public and private oriented non-governmental organisations, the public …) that have a stake in the provision of health care act, as well as the relations and agreements they develop. Whether this ensemble of actors evolves towards better population’s health depends upon the inner-system’s strengths and weaknesses and the opportunities and threads from outside. A system however should be capable of continuously adapting to the changing environment. New policies like liberalisation and decentralisation, emerging health problems like obesity, specific challenges like generalising treatment for AIDS patients are but three examples of current changes.
