These challenges include measurement of health status, infectious and chronic diseases, injuries, nutrition, reproductive health, global environmental health and complex emergencies. This thorough revision also explores emerging health systems, their financing, and management, and the roles of nation states, international agencies, the private sector and nongovernmental organizations in promoting health. Your students will come away with a clear understanding of how globalization is impacting on global health, and of the relationship between health and economic development., NEW to this EDITION: • Fully updated data throughout • Latest information on new global health initiatives • NEW chapter: "Social Determinants of Health" • NEW chapter: Pharmaceuticals • NEW chapter: Evaluation of Large Scale Health Programs "The uniqueness of this textbook is the sensitivity to the situation in lower income countries.
