Recenzii

An invaluable alternative health report to the mainstream consensus that privatized health insurance (known as Universal Health Coverage) is the answer to the world's health problems.'
A highly informative book - an extremely useful contribution offering an indeed alternative understanding of current global responses to probably the world's greatest challenge.
Reading Global Health Watch is a necessary step in understanding how challenging and urgent change is, but that it is increasingly necessary for the survival of our planet Earth.
Challenges us to look at health and health care from a critical perspective. Essential reading for the movers and shakers in health policy the world over.
Provides us with compelling evidence about all that is wrong with the governance of health care systems across the world. At the same time it also provides us with hope, in the many stories about what can be done and what is being done.
An incisive socio-political critique of contemporary global health issues
Offers a courageous and serious assessment, making it compulsory health policy reading.
Brings together vision, critique, solidarity, and the promise of a collective path towards health equity for the world's peoples. GHW5 makes vivid the connections between social justice and public health.
Addresses the increasingly complex problems affecting the health of populations. It draws attention to the destructive impact of corporate power and to the abuse of technological and scientific developments.
A consistent source of critical information and analysis of health around the world. Terrific for researchers, teachers, students and health activists. The current edition will help the fight for better social, economic and environmental conditions.
Global Health Watch confirms the failure of the UN, capitalism and liberal democracy. It also convinces us that we shall need a radically new manner of thinking if mankind is to survive.
This encyclopaedic work offers a thorough discussion of the state of human health worldwide, a deep analysis of the social causes of persistent health deficits, and constructive ideas for reform. An indispensable second opinion to government propaganda.
Global Health Watch again meets our expectations for a critical analysis of the two great challenges of our time: the ecological crisis, and continuing economic disparities. It holds us accountable, and moves us toward an alternate vision.
