Download or read book Global Public Health written by Robert Beaglehole and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2009-07-09 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Global Public Health: a new era is a comprehensive updated account of the international state of public health, including an agenda for improving the practice of the discipline across the world. It addresses three major issues: - the changing global context for public health - the state of public health theory and practice in developed and developing countries; and - strategies for strengthening the practice of public health Section one surveys the complex old and new challenges facing public health practitioners, and then summarises the state of health globally using new data based on measures of the Global Burden of Disease developed by the Word Health Organization, and other groups, to better describe population health states and trends. Section two presents the first detailed review of the global state of public health. It analyses the public health situation in all regions of the world. Six chapters cover Europe, Latin America, and Australia and New Zealand.. Three chapters cover China, India, and Sub-Saharan Africa. The lessons from these chapters are surprisingly similar: the challenges are great; the public health workforce and infrastructure have long been neglected; and much needs to be done to reinvigorate the practice of public health. The third section covers several cross cutting themes, including the developing field of international public health ethics and the central and neglected role of the public in strengthening the practice of public health and the opportunities for building the capacity of the public health workforce to respond to the major global health needs.

Download or read book Prevention and protection against attacks on health care written by World Health Organization and published by World Health Organization. This book was released on 2024-01-24 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Attacks on health care have wider repercussions than on the persons directly involved. They deprive people of urgently needed care, often when they are at their most vulnerable and need it most. They not only reduce access to health care, but also undermine entire health systems and long-term public health goals. There is no doubt that the suspension or closure of health services under attack affects millions of lives. In facilities that can remain partially functional, there may be a climate of fear, deterring yet more people from seeking life-saving care. This publication presents 7 good practices to protect, prevent and mitigate against attacks on health care documented in collaboration with WHO Country and Regional offices, partners and other actors and stakeholders in the health sector. These examples of good practices aim to support the health sector in acquiring knowledge on lessons learned in preventing attacks and protecting health care, exchanging ideas on adapting strategies, and analysing how tailored, feasible and effective interventions can be implemented.
