Information

The arrival of numerous new infectious diseases -emerging ones- with fast and changing patterns of spread, and often with a strong impact on the healthcare system, has been the norm in the last decade: this is the case of the Flu A, Ebola, Zika fever, Crimea-Congo, and SARS-CoV-2.

These diseases have challenged both healthcare professionals and managers, forcing them to adapt in a structural and economic context that was often rigid prior to the COVID-19 era.

The course aims to provide knowledge about this new epidemiological and healthcare reality, promoting flexibility, agility, and responsiveness of the healthcare system and the professionals within it. Additionally, it fits within the concept of Global Health (One Health), highlighting the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration in the prevention and fight against these emerging diseases.
