Healthcare Management Strategy, Communication, and Development
Challenges and Solutions in Developing Countries analyzes the ways
in which health services, public health administration, and
healthcare policies are managed in developing countries and how
intercultural, intergroup, and mass communication practices are
weakening those efforts. If developing countries are to reach their
development goals, their leaders must have a firm understanding of
the impact of infectious diseases on their people and take prompt
action to fix socioeconomic issues arising from the problems
associated with poor health practices. Drawing on experiences from
international health organizations such as the United Nations
Population Fund (UNFPA), commissioned in poor countries to assist
national governments in improving the wellbeing of their citizens,
this volume analyzes maternal and child mortality and the spread of
infectious diseases, and offers communication strategies for the
management of malaria, HIV Aids, Polio, tuberculosis, and others in
Somalia, Madagascar, Ghana, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Nigeria, the
Democratic Republic of Congo, and India.
The editors of Health Communication in Africa have assembled an
impressive list of scholars and practitioners to discuss some of
the public health efforts and disease prevention strategies,
conspicuously absent in health communication literature. A variety
of subjects are addressed, including: existing and innovative
health promotion programs; outcome evaluation and effectiveness
studies; health communication in refugee settings and among
international, national, and regional agencies that have been
successfully implemented. This book will serve as a road map for
those interested in the study of health communication, health
promotion, and disease prevention strategies in Africa.
