Addressing Tobacco Burdens in Gujarat, India
2010
This fictional case considers how the government of Gujarat, India can reduce tobacco-related health and economic burdens while recognizing that tobacco product manufacturing is one of the province's largest industries. Readers must develop a strategy that is sustainable, financially justifiable, and acceptable, and costs no more than 0.5% of Gujarat’s Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP). Strategy objectives must be to decrease the health and socioeconomic burdens associated with tobacco in Gujarat.
This case was used for the 2010 Global Health Competition at Emory University. Student teams made up of multi-disciplinary members present solutions to complex scenarios. In these situations, as is often true in real life, there is no one perfect solution but rather one that involves compromising and prioritizing. Cases from past competitions are available through the Emory Global Health Institute.
