This brand new textbook presents a new approach to the teaching and understanding of global health. Advocating the new 'compact for health' that is developing globally, and in which responsibility for health is shared by everyone, the book describes the shared opportunities and problems that face us all, from epidemics and climate change, the need to staff and resource health services appropriately, the rich potential of science and technology, and the impacts of social and political change in the world around us, at a level appropriate for the student looking to gain an understanding of this broad and developing area.
