This excellent text brings together information that students and professionals working in the wide variety of disciplines concerned with international health will find in no other single source. It synthesizes historical, cultural, environmental, economic and political considerations to provide a comprehensive global overview of the many factors that determine the health of individuals and populations. The major determinants of health status in all regions of the world are discussed, and interventions undertaken at community, national, and international levels are described. For this edition, new chapters on health management information systems and health sector reform have been added. There are new discussions of structural adjustment; the global burden of disease; application of the disability adjusted life year (DALY); poverty, equity and health; disaster and refugee relief programs; aging populations; and development, resource use, and the environment. The entire text has been updated, including the sections on child health, women's and reproductive health, maternal mortality, and emerging infectious diseases. International organizations, their policies and programs are reviewed. Trends in foreign aid, such as sector-wide approaches are highlighted. There is extensive coverage of the basic models of health care systems and their variants with an analysis of changes in the former Soviet Union and reunified Germany.

Since the advent of biotechnology in the mid-1970s, many people have been attracted to the prospect that its products might bring about rapid improvements in human health, especially in the poorest countries of the world. This timely work focuses on preventive and diagnostic technologies, particularly vaccines aimed at the infectious, vector-borne and parasitic diseases so widespread in the developing world. It explains the pathways that such products must take to achieve their goal of improving human health, identifies the various groups having a stake in this process, and discusses the concerns and risks facing each group. The book has been written for several groups of readers: 1) laboratory investigators, primarily in the industrialized world, who develop vaccines and other biotechnological tools, 2) the persons responsible for public health and disease control programs in the developing world, 3) the managers, investigators, epidemiologists and others who participate in the process of taking a product "from bench to bush" and 4) students of public health, medicine, economics, international relations and other disciplines that have an interest in technology transfer and international health.
