Global public health is of growing concern to most governments and
populations, nowhere more so than in Asia, the world's largest and
most populous continent. Whilst major advances have been made in
controlling infectious diseases through public health measures as
well as clinical medical treatments, the world now faces other
challenges including ageing populations and the epidemic crisis of
obesity and non-communicable diseases. New emerging infections
continue to develop and the growing threats to health due to
environmental pollution and climate change increase the need for
resilience and sustainability. These threats to health are global
in nature, and this Handbook will explore perspectives on current
public health issues in South, Southeast and East Asia, informing
global as well as regional debate. Whilst many books cite Western
examples of the development of global public health, this Handbook
brings together both Western and Eastern scholarship, creating a
new global public health perspective suitable to face modern
challenges in promoting the population's health. This Handbook is
essential reading not only for students, professionals and scholars
of global public health and related fields but is also written to
be accessible to those with a general interest in the health of
Asia.
