This practical and handy textbook offers a succinct yet
comprehensive overview of the main challenges, issues and solutions
in global health in relation to the UN’s Sustainable Development
Goals (SDG) 2030 agenda. Subdivided into 11 parts, devoted each to
a macro-topic, the book opens with an introduction to Global Health
followed by an overview of the global burden of disease – from
child and maternal health to communicable and non-communicable
diseases. The authors further examine the social determinants of
health, health systems’ features as well as innovations,
governance and methods in Global Health. In consideration of the
emerging discussions and ideas, and beyond the more traditional and
essential elements of global health, the book also looks at the
need to re-think the whole concept of global health and the
importance of a “decolonized” approach that engages low and
lower-middle countries fully. One entire part is then devoted to
analyzing the major threats to the health of humanity such as
climate change, the need for an ecological approach to health
(including “One Health” approaches), and, ultimately, planetary
health. Written by an international panel of more than 100 experts,
this manual will be an excellent resource for students in a broad
range of disciplines – from medicine and other scientific studies
to economics, social science, anthropology and international
relations. Pragmatic and reader-friendly, it will further be a
valuable tool for policymakers, program implementers and those
wishing to build knowledge on the meaning, principles and practices
of global health.
