Assignment: Global Healthcare Comparison
Matrix and Narrative Statement
Note: This Assignment is due on Day 5 of Week 11.
If you talk about a possible poor health outcome, do you believe that outcome will
occur? Do you believe eye contact and personal contact should be avoided?
You would have a difficult time practicing as a nurse if you believed these to be true. But
they are very real beliefs in some cultures.
Differences in cultural beliefs, subcultures, religion, ethnic customs, dietary customs,
language, and a host of other factors contribute to the complex environment that
surrounds global healthcare issues. Failure to understand and account for these
differences can create a gulf between practitioners and the public they serve.
In this Assignment, you will examine a global health issue and consider the approach to
this issue by the United States and by one other country.
To Prepare:
Review the World Health Organization’s (WHO) global health agenda and select one
global health issue to focus on for this Assignment.
Select at least one additional country to compare to the U.S. for this Assignment.
Reflect on how the global health issue you selected is approached in the U.S. and in the
additional country you selected.
Review and download the Global Health Comparison Matrix provided in the Resources.

Social Change)

perspective or lens into your local practice and role as a nurse leader.
