We are glad to share the good news that OLADOSU Ayomide Oluwaseyi, an IMCSP graduate from AY2019/20, recently published a part of his IMCSP capstone project in the article "Effect of Public Health Expenditure on Health Outcomes in Nigreia and Ghana" on ScienceDirect.

Link to article: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.hpopen.2022.100072

“This study is a comparative study that looks at the impact of public health spending on health outcomes in Nigeria and Ghana. The findings of this study revealed that public health expenditures in Nigeria and Ghana were inadequate, resulting in poor health outcomes in both countries. The empirical data from this study emphasizes the necessity to increase public health spending in order to improve health outcomes while accounting for the considerable effect of GDP, school enrollment, and urbanization. One important contribution of this study is the reconceptualization of health outcomes by incorporating Malaria and HIV/AIDS mortality as health outcome indicators, which have been disregarded in earlier studies over time.”

IMCSP 分析不同國家社會政策 培育未來社會領袖

社會政策具有不同面向，「比較社會政策（國際）社會科學碩士」（IMCSP）課程的着眼點不只在中國或鄰近地區，而是世界性的社會議題，分析不同國家的社會政策，例如房屋、醫療、社會保障等，通過借鑒其他國家的經驗提高學生的國際視野。
