This book offers students and practitioners an accessible exploration of global health.
Global health is a relatively new but rapidly expanding field as public health practitioners recognize the important challenges that global changes are posing for human health. Health issues are increasingly crossing national boundaries, and this book explores the actors that shape global health, including private companies, foundations, civil society and multilateral organizations, and explores some of the key issues in global health.
Illuminating the changes happening in health worldwide, the book includes practical activities and applications which help to show the impact of global issues at an everyday level. The issues covered include:
• Social change linked to globalization
• Governance of global health
• Pharmaceuticals and tobacco
• Emerging infectious diseases
• Climate change
• Economy and trade
• Health security
Globalisation and Health 2nd edition is an ideal resource for students of public health and health policy, public health practitioners and policy makers.
