| 520 | |a "This book is constructed around three essential questions: Why is population health so poor in developing countries? What is the extent of the problem? And what can be done about it? It provides a broad but detailed overview of global health and considers other aspects of global health that are rarely given attention, such as poverty, wars, humanitarian disasters, and governance. The text provides an intricate history of overseas aid and explores the varied determinants of population health, poverty, and malnutrition. Solutions are examined via primary health care strategies, poverty alleviation, developing world debt relief, and human rights interventions. New to this edition are chapter summaries; critical thinking questions for each chapter; additional recommended readings; a discussion of topical health issues in light of the new sustainable development goals; and updated references, statistics, and figures."-- |c Provided by publisher. | ||
