The closure of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) in 2015
prompted the need for a book of this kind. An interdisciplinary
group of global health scholars contribute to the understanding of
the emerging and fast-growing problem of the dual burden of
communicable and non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in Africa. This
book is timely, as the international community has moved from the
MDGs to adopt the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as the
blueprint for a new human development agenda. Contributions and
case studies are situated in the revised Epidemiologic and
Nutrition Transition Model to capture the current situation,
referencing communicable and NCDs on the African continent. The
case studies encapsulated aim to help minimize negative health
outcomes and improve population health, well-being, and equity in
the future. This book will be significant in policy circles to
assist international organizations, governments, and United Nations
agencies. It aims to chart the future for health in Africa in light
of recently adopted SDGs. This book is also a useful complementary
reader for global public health related courses.
