Free Global Health Teaching Tools

Today, the Global Health Delivery Project (collaboration between Harvard Medical School, Harvard Business School and Brigham and Women’s Hospital) will make public and free 21 teaching case studies which take a close look at health care delivery in developing countries; Rwanda, Haiti, India, etc. Students will be able to access these cases and put themselves in the role of the “decision maker,” looking at the principals of health care delivery in situations where politics, the economy and geography need to be taken into account. The cases have already been taught at Harvard Business School, Harvard School of Public Health, Harvard College and MIT’s Sloan School of Management.

This is the first time something like it has been made free and open for the public to download. Ultimately it’s a prime example of the growing partnership lead by Paul Farmer among Harvard Medical School, Brigham and Women’s and Partners In Health – all three considered the “Global Health Delivery Partnership.”
