Recenzii
This book is excellent. It describes in a very clear, well-organized, and readable manner the causes of healthcare inequalities and what can be done to address them. Its message is equally applicable to underserved rural areas, reservations, and poor inner-city neighborhoods of the U.S. as it is to poor countries that bear the burden of colonialism. This edition's sections addressing the COVID-19 pandemic present a much-needed update.
An Introduction to Global Health Delivery [is] a highly readable, inspiring book that firmly places global health in the context of equity and human rights.
A must-read for both newcomers and established professionals in the field of global health. Mukherjee captures the essence of global health, presenting concrete examples of the stepping stones involved in transforming health in countries throughout the world.
A comprehensive, essential resource linking theory, data, and implementation in ways that are novel and, most importantly, immediately useful for anyone working in global health. This book guides the reader through the evolution of the field, then into a much more pragmatic approach that holds at its center the moral conviction that all people in the world have a right to quality health care.
This book helps us understand why health systems in poor countries are weak and how to analyze health inequality from a social perspective integrated with biological concerns. The big challenge now is to improve the health of the world's poor based on what we know. Mukherjee radically recasts global health into a field centered on the systemic, long term, and high-quality public provision of care. Both the pursuit of sustainable development and the honoring of health as a human right will be greatly aided by her penetrating investigations and presentation.
