First published in 1998, this book covers a variety of health
issues in the contemporary Middle east. Its thirteen chapters,
contributed by a total of 23 authors and co-authors, reflect
several different disciplines relevant for health studies,
including epidemiology, economics and anthropology. In the field of
reproductive health, there are chapters on maternal health
indicators, fertility, infertility and the utilization of family
planning services. In the field of infectious disease there are
chapters on schistosomiasis, HIV/AIDS, hepatitis C, and Rift Valley
Fever. Several different parts of the Middle East and North Africa
are covered, including Tunisia, Egypt, Israel, Palestine and
Lebanon. Problems of reproductive health and infectious disease in
the region are seen to be more serious than generally recognised.
There are significant cultural and political obstacles in both
areas. A particular need is for greater empowerment of women as
both clients and providers within the health care systems.
