- Resources
Global health challenges embrace a wide range of complex and daunting issues, from the international stage to the individual household, including the health consequences of poverty, wars and conflicts, climate change, natural catastrophes, and man-made disasters. Using principles of medicine as research and diagnostic tools, we will perform a root cause analysis of the manifold signs and symptoms to arrive at an underlying cause and discuss an approach to applying the remedy. The second half of the presentation will comprise a series of questions and useful quotes from Bahá’í texts and other sources to help assist participants in entering into meaningful dialogue with colleagues and develop ideas for future scholarly work in the area.
