Contemporary Healthcare Issues in Sub-Saharan Africa: Social,
Economic, and Cultural Perspectives discusses contemporary
healthcare issues in Sub-Saharan Africa to identify deficiencies in
the system and provide workable recommendations for strengthening
healthcare delivery on the continent. Contributors address topical
issues such as drug quality, malaria control, health insurance,
geriatric care, and the environment-health nexus. The contributors
also study intimate partner violence and maternal-child health,
food safety, prevalence of childhood tuberculosis, and
cardiovascular diseases. This book provides in-depth analyses of
current issues in Sub-Saharan Africa that blend theory and
practice. The diverse group of contributors includes experts in
clinical medicine, pharmacy, economics, anthropology, public
health, and the social sciences.
This book preserves and scientifically interprets the African
foreknowledge on water resources management. It offers insight into
the relevance of the traditional knowledge and practices to modern
approaches on sustainable water management. The African continent
has partially preserved its natural habitat for centuries. In this
book, this knowledge is combined with the current scientific
understanding. The traditional practices are categorized as: i)
water harvesting, ii) water transportation, iii) water storage and
conservation, iv) water treatments, v) myths and folk stories about
water management or conservation, vi) water resource management
systems, and vii) soil-water-forest conservation/management systems
sub-topics. The findings presented here are in line with SDG 6,
which aims at ensuring availability and sustainable management of
water and sanitation for all by the year 2030.
