For over a decade, Global Health Watch has been the
definitive source for alternative analysis on health.
This new edition addresses the key challenges facing
governments and health practitioners today, within the context of rapid shifts
in global governance mechanisms and the UN's Sustainable Development Goals.
Like its predecessors, it challenges conventional wisdom while pioneering
innovative new approaches to the field.
Collaboratively written by academics and activists drawn
from a variety of movements, research institutions and civil society groups, it
covers some of the most pressing issues in world health, from the resurgence of
epidemic diseases such as Ebola to the crisis in the WHO, climate change and
the 'war on drugs'. Combining rigorous analysis with practical policy
suggestions, Global Health Watch 5 offers an accessible and compelling case for
a radical new approach to health and healthcare across the world.
