内容説明
Here is an ideal first reference source for students and professionals working in the wide variety of disciplines concerned with international health. The volume synthesizes historical, cultural, environmental, economic, and political considerations to provide a comprehensive, global overview of the many factors that determine the health of individuals and populations. The major determinants of health status in all regions of the world are discussed, and interventions undertaken at community, national and international levels are described. Worldwide campaigns against major diseases such as smallpox, malaria and AIDS are examined for elements determining success and failure. International campaigns for primary health care, child survival, safe motherhood, diarrheal disease control, and childhood immunization are described and analysed. Attention is also given to the interpretation of numerical data, to the impact of science and technology, to ethical and policy considerations, and to the organization and functions of national health services and multi-national agencies.
