An Introduction to Global Health Delivery - Practice, Equity, Human Rights (Paperback, 2nd Revised edition)

In the last two decades, the rise of global health studies at universities across the world reflects the interest of a growing generation of students motivated to be involved in progressive global change. Grassroots advocacy for health equity and strong leadership in the global South have catalyzed a paradigm shift from primarily preventative health programs to holistic systems providing health care as a human right. To succeed in this field, students must not only understand the elements needed to deliver equitable health care but also the historical and social factors that cause and propagate health disparities. An Introduction to Global Health Delivery, Second Edition is an immersive introduction to global health's origins, actors, interventions, and challenges from the ongoing impacts of racism to the momentum for the delivery of care that began with the AIDS movement through to the current era of COVID-19. Informed by physician Joia Mukherjee's quarter-century of experience fighting disease and poverty in more than a dozen countries, it delivers a clear-eyed overview of the movement underway to address injustice, reduce global health disparities, and deliver health care as a human right. This second edition extends the lens of global health delivery to address the challenges of COVID-19 and the prevention of future pandemics. It features updated chapters exploring pandemics, preparedness, and the intersection of key social movements with the right to health care, including Black Lives Matter, decolonization, and climate justice. Enriched with case studies and exercises that encourage readers to think critically about equitable global health delivery, An Introduction to Global Health Delivery, Second Edition is the essential starting point for readers of any background seeking a practical grounding in global health's promise and progress.
