This assignment supports the following unit learning outcomes:
Analyze global health disparities through different perspectives.
Determine how socioeconomic status impacts health outcomes.
Identify different cooperative actions aimed at global health issues.
In this case study assignment, you will discuss important maternal health issues in low- and middle-income countries as well as the actions that can be taken to adequately address them. To set the stage for this assignment, you will watch the following two videos to evaluate efforts aimed at reducing maternal and infant mortality in other areas of the world.
Reducing Maternal Mortality in Upper Egypt
(Links to an external site.)
Estimated time to complete: 9 minutes
Reducing Infant and Maternal Mortality in Afghanistan
(Links to an external site.)
Estimated time to complete: 6 minutes
Next, you will review a set of short videos that review maternal health issues in three specific countries to better answer the case study discussion questions.
Safe Motherhood – Sri Lanka
(Links to an external site.)
Estimated time to complete: 11 minutes
Pregnancy Spacing Saves Lives – Pakistan
(Links to an external site.)
Estimated time to complete: 7 minutes
Maternal Mortality – Haiti
(Links to an external site.)
Estimated time to complete: 5 minutes
Then, answer the following case study discussion questions with substantial details and examples for each of the three countries (Skolnik, 2016):
What are the themes that you see in each of these videos? What cultural, socioeconomic, and gender-based factors stand out in these videos?
What are the differences/unique elements of maternal health in each country?
What are the impediments to achieving good maternal health in these countries?
What appears to be critical elements to success in a maternal health program?
Based on what you have read and seen in these videos, what would you make the main emphases of an intervention in low-, a lower-middle, and a middle-income country to reduce maternal morbidities and maternal death?
