Minor content

"Wicked problems" in health are complex issues that are difficult to define, inherently unsolvable, and involve many interconnected factors. These challenges often arise from the involvement of multiple stakeholders, cultural values, ethical dilemmas, and conflicting interests. You can think of health inequities, climate change, misinformation and public trust, ageing population, access to health care, ethical dilemmas etc.

In this minor, the focus is on EAST MEETS WEST. What similarities and differences are there with regard to the population of Indonesia and specifically in Bali when it comes to norms, values, culture, health, health care, prevention, technology, wealth, poverty, wellbeing, etc. What can we learn from each other, to ensure future-proof innovations in health and harmony of the community. The concepts that will be covered deal with the different groups of people, health and harmony, prevention, communication, interdisciplinary work, and applied research.
