Global Health Watch 2
In an increasingly globalized world with new threats to health, widening disparities in both health and access to health care, and an unacceptable level of human suffering and premature mortality in developing countries, this book asks: why is so little progress being made in global health?
Like its critically acclaimed predecessor, the second edition of Global Health Watch covers a comprehensive range of topics, including access to medicines, mental health, water and sanitation, nutrition, and war and conflict. It also draws attention to the politics of global health and the policies and actions of key players.
