ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
This report is an outstanding prospect to convey my
gratefulness to those people whose timely help and guidance
went a long way in in finishing this project report from
commencement to achievement.
I would like to express my sincere thanks to Dr. Priyanka Singh
for giving me an opportunity to explore the courses and learn
from the case studies.
This course, Public Health in Humanitarian
Crises 2, addresses public health issues of people
affected by disasters, both natural and conflict-related.
It discusses the many changes that occur in people’s lives
when they are uprooted by a disaster, including many
important topics related to humanitarian crises, such as
when there is an epidemic a public health emergency;
what do we mean with the humanitarian development
nexus; what are the basics of disaster epidemiology and
surveillance; humanitarian principles; and other very
relevant topics.
We will explore what humanitarian interventions could
look like if we want to mitigate the effects of disasters.
This course is a follow-up to Public Health in
Humanitarian Crises 1, which dealt with changes in
disease patterns, access to health care, livelihoods,

shelter, sanitary conditions, nutritional status, and other

issues. The course content is a mix of theoretical
knowledge and many practical examples from recent
disasters.
We think this course is unique because it contains so
many practical ‘real-life’ examples and is taught be
instructors and guest lecturers who together have over
200 years of experience in this field.

The course consists of 10 modules totaling approximately

14-16 hours of delivered content with an additional 2-3
hours of self-work (quizzes and writing and evaluating a
short peer-review assignment) as well as lively
discussions forums. The first course, Public Health in
Humanitarian Crises 1 (PHHC1), has been designed in a
way that each module builds on the lessons of previous
modules.

However, the modules from this second course, Public

Health in Humanitarian Crises 2 (PHHC2) can be
accessed in any order and some can stand alone. You do
not necessarily need to do PHHC1 before PHHC2, but it
might be helpful to take some or all of PHHC1, as some of
the basic or fundamental issues are covered in this
course.

COVID-19 Contact tracing

The COVID-19 crisis has created an unprecedented need

for contact tracing across the country, requiring thousands
of people to learn key skills quickly. The job qualifications
for contact tracing positions differ throughout the country
and the world, with some new positions open to individuals
with a high school diploma or equivalent. In this
introductory course, students will learn about the science
of SARS-CoV-2 , including the infectious period, the
clinical presentation of COVID-19, and the evidence for
how SARS-CoV-2 is transmitted from person-to-person
and why contact tracing can be such an effective public
health intervention.
Students will learn about how contact tracing is done,
including how to build rapport with cases, identify their
contacts, and support both cases and their contacts to
stop transmission in their communities.
The course will also cover several important ethical
considerations around contact tracing, isolation, and
quarantine. Finally, the course will identify some of the
most common barriers to contact tracing efforts -- along
with strategies to overcome them.

Learning Objectives

 Understand key public health concepts in outbreak

evolution.
 Describe strategies to detect outbreaks early and
rapidly respond.
 Explain incident management principles and how
outbreak response monitoring guides decision
making.
  Identify sexual and reproductive health needs of
crisis-affected populations.
 Describe key sexual and reproductive health services
at different phases of an emergency.

Disease Control during Outbreaks

With natural disasters and conflicts, there are always

risks of disease outbreaks, necessitating careful
epidemiological assessment and surveillance. Think
through disease outbreaks that are on-going. Give
some examples of disease control methods
addressing these outbreaks, and share your
thoughts on their effectiveness. Explain why they are
or are not successful.
Here are two sites that will help you identify  ongoing
outbreaks:
 Global Outbreak Alert and Response Network
(GOARN)
 https://www.who.int/ihr/alert_and_response/outbre
ak-network/en/
 Disease Outbreak News (DONs)
https://www.who.int/csr/don/en/

Healthcare Entrepreneurship: - Taking

ideas to marketplace

In this Specialization we will delve into the marketing mix

and the skill-set needed to implement successful
marketing strategies.
Join us and explore the four key concepts of the marketing
mix model, also known as the 4Ps: Product (Brand and
Product Management), Pricing, Place (Distribution
Channel Strategy and Retail) and Promotion
(Communication Strategies, PR and Advertising).
This course primarily focuses on implementation so you
can immediately apply the lessons learned to your work or
to a business idea that you are thinking of taking to
market.
After completing the four courses, you will be able to take
part in the Capstone Project where you will have the
opportunity to put into practice what you have learned in
this specialization by running a real product through the
marketing mix.
Expose you to the data analytics practices executed in the
business world. We will explore such key areas as the analytical
process, how data is created, stored, accessed, and how the
organization works with data and creates the environment in
which analytics can flourish.

What you learn in this course will give you a strong foundation in
all the areas that support analytics and will help you to better
position yourself for success within your organization. You’ll
develop skills and a perspective that will make you more
productive faster and allow you to become a valuable asset to
your organization. This course also provides a basis for going
deeper into advanced investigative and computational methods,
which you have an opportunity to explore in future courses of the
Data Analytics for Business specialization.
Data and Analysis in the Real World

Is about analytical problems and examine the process by

which data enables analysis & decision making. We’ll
introduce a framework called the Information-Action Value
chain which describes the path from events in the world to
business action, and we’ll look at some of the source
systems that are used to capture data. At the end of this
course you will be able to: Explain the information lifecycle
from events in the real world to business actions, and how
to think about analytical problems in that context ,
Recognize the types of events and characteristics that are
often used in business analytics, and explain how the data
is captured by source systems and stored using both
traditional and emergent technologies, Gain a high-level
familiarity with relational databases and learn how to use a
simple but powerful language called SQL to extract
analytical data sets of interest, Appreciate the spectrum of
roles involved in the data lifecycle, and gain exposure to
the various ways that organizations structure analytical
functions, Summarize some of the key ideas around data
quality, data governance, and data privacy.

Analytical Tools
In this module we’ll learn about the technologies that
enable analytical work. We’ll examine data storage and
databases, including the relational database. We’ll talk
about Big Data and Cloud technologies and ideas like
federation, virtualization, and in-memory computing. We’ll
also walk through a landscape of some of the more
common tool classes and learn how these tools support
common analytical tasks.
Data Extraction Using SQL
I learnt how to extract data from a relational database
using Structured Query Language, or SQL. We’ll cover all
the basic SQL commands and learn how to combine and
stack data from different tables. We’ll also learn how to
expand the power of our queries using operators and
handle additional complexity using subqueries.
