Information

International Health is a corpus of knowledge within medicine that aims to study and know diseases at a global level, especially those that are relevant to Public Health and those that are endemic to tropical countries. It therefore encompasses the oldest concepts of Tropical Medicine and Imported Diseases.

The main objective of the course is to raise awareness about diseases at a global level, especially those that are relevant to Public Health and those that are endemic to tropical countries. The objective is to inform about the epidemiological and clinical bases of the main groups of imported diseases, while explaining what are the resources and circuits of care and diagnosis available for Territorial Management to attend to these cases.

With the aim of training professionals to improve the control of these imported and emerging diseases, we present the second Jornada de Salut Internacional a la Metropolitana Nord.
