Health Equity Through Maternal & Child Health History
Women's and child health outcomes aren't simply biological—they reflect centuries of cultural values, economic systems, and social structures. Understanding this history is the foundation for addressing persistent health inequities today.
The course traces how historical views of women's roles have shaped healthcare access and outcomes, and how those legacies continue to influence global health disparities. By examining these patterns through a social-justice lens, you gain insight into why certain populations face barriers and how systemic change happens.
Essential for public health professionals, policymakers, and anyone working to improve health equity.
About this course
Women's health and maternal and child health represents an important but often overlooked role in the broader context of public health history. Historical, social, cultural views of women’s roles have influenced women’s health and healthcare access. They have also contributed to the health inequities experienced by women and MCH populations globally. We will discuss how these historical contexts continue to manifest and influence equitable health care access and utilization for women, youth, and children.
