-: Hi everyone, and welcome to module nine.
This week we're going to be learning about
principles of ethical management in the global context.
In this module, we will reiterate a central theme
underlying much of this course:
that of the need for cultural competence
in leading a global health organization.
We'll go over key principles
guiding ethical management of healthcare organizations
and strategies to gain cultural competence
and understanding of the communities
that your global health organization serves.
This week, you'll have some readings and videos to watch.
In addition to my lecture,
you should watch the lectures
about ethical considerations
in the pricing of pharmaceutical products internationally.
In addition to the examples cited in the lecture,
I would encourage you to look into
the recent example of Lenacapavir,
a drug that was recently found
to be extremely effective for the prevention of HIV,
which is referred to as HIV prophylaxis.
I'll be dropping some literature about this
in the discussion board this week,
but I encourage you to do your own research as well.
In addition to the didactic materials,
we'll be submitting the outline
of the final paper this week.
I've left an example of what a component
of the final paper outline should look like
on the module instructions this week.
It's meant to help you get
a substantive head start on the final paper
and build upon the literature review you've already begun.
In addition to the outline,
you'll have a quiz and a discussion
on (indistinct) this week.
As always, feel free to reach out
with any questions or concerns.
I hope you have a great week.
