Global Health: Issues, Challenges, and Global Action provides a thorough introduction to a wide range of important global health issues and explores the resources and skills needed for this rapidly expanding area.
Global health reflects the increasing interconnectedness of health and its determinants. Major socio-economic, environmental, and technological changes have produced new challenges, and exacerbated existing health inequalities in both developed and developing countries. This textbook focuses on managing and preventing these challenges, as well as analyzing critical links between health, disease, and socio-economic development through a multidisciplinary approach.
Featuring learning objectives and discussion points, Global Health is an indispensable resource for global health students, faculty and practitioners who are looking to build on their understanding of global health issues.
