Understanding global health (2nd ed.) download pdf

Reduction of these risk factors requires much time and effort by public health professionals around the world. Therefore we are pleased to present this new edition of Understanding Global Health. It is intended for anyone with an interest in this topic and is written especially with students in mind. We have continued to list learning objectives for each chapter with study questions at the end to stimulate thought and discussion. The original chapters have been updated, most of them by the original authors.

We are indebted to every author, who has given time and expertise in producing an authoritative and useful text. Each author has done significant work to include the most current information. New chapters have been added to this edition on malaria and neglected tropical diseases; problems that continue to affect millions worldwide. Surgical issues are often at the forefront of needed services and a new chapter on surgery is included from the public health perspective.

Mental health issues, especially depression, are major sources of disability-adjusted life years DALYs and a new chapter helps us understand this area. There is great interest currently in the problem of human trafficking. This is a global health issue and is addressed expertly in a new chapter. Finally new authors have been added to several chapters and have brought added expertise to the book.

It is with a sad heart that we must report the death of one of the editors, Dr. Ray Smego. He passed away suddenly December 15, in South Africa. He had a long career in international medical education and had taught at schools in many countries around the world.

He had served as a Fulbright scholar to Pakistan in the field of tropical medicine and public health and was the founding director of the international health program at West Virginia University. Ray had a true heart to improve health care for all peoples around the world and especially underserved peoples wherever they may be. The other editors have missed his expertise in the final stages of this book and wish to dedicate this book to him.

He will be greatly missed by all who knew him. We hope this book will continue to contribute to better understanding of people around the world and better health for all.
