HELP!! 1. How would you approach global health from an anthropological perspective?

2. What do we mean by cultural competency in the context of global health?

1.  Anthropological perspective include the study of the full scope of human diversity and apply it for their help. Anthropology can improve the  patient-physician relationship and help the physician to understand the patient better.  Anthropology has a very high impact on global health, as it help to treat people with alternative medical systems in culturally diverse areas without affecting their mental state and ethical emotions. Anthropology promote interactions between the migrant populations and the psychiatric field which helps to understand their mental and social well being.

So, anthropology has a very good impact on global health, as it will be able to deal with culturally diverse people, migrants and promote biocultural focus.

2. cultural competence include the to understand and communicate with people form different cultures. It is a belief that patients interact more freely with the healthcare providers and  improve patient outcomes. There is huge cultural diversity globally and if healthcare providers are able to understand beliefs, values, customs, language, and traditions of their patient it will promote the global health as well.
