This volume contains selected contributions from individuals who
attended the Sec ond International Conference of the International
Council for Global Health Progress (ICGHP) held at UNESCO in Paris,
France, on January 15-17, 1996. This conference brought together
experts in many disciplines that deal with the devastating diseases
of cancer and AIDS with a focus on the concerns for quality of
life. The ICGHP fosters mul ticultural and, multidisciplinary
approaches to global health problems to help influence governments
and other international health organizations to emphasize
prevention and care of diseases and to understand their scientific,
social, and cultural features. The Coun cil encourages the
interchange of information on health problems and policy and
supports educational funding for the public at large. Its objective
is to effect diseases-free lives in the world community.
Participants of the conference included scientists, sociologists,
government leaders, physicians, health care providers,
epidemiologists, religious leaders, company officials, ethicists,
and philosophers. They examined and discussed the many variables
involved in quality of life for people affected with cancer and
with AIDS. The volume's text begins with introductory comments by
officials attending the JCGHP conference. Subsequently, a chapter
is dedicated to one aspect of quality of life, be it definition,
scientific research, evolution, cultural changes, ethics,
measurements, or other issues dealing with health care and
treatment survival. The second part of the volume includes
commentaries dealing with fi ve aspects of quality of life which
merit consideration."
