"This book does not merely describe international health activities or
prescribe
technical solutions to particular diseases, but it compels us to
better understand the
contexts in which health problems emerge and the forces that underlie
and propel
them. It also discusses the various ways in which governments,
organizations, and
peoples can work together more effectively to improve health and
enable us all to
live more fulfilling, productive and, dare I say, happier lives.
Herein lies the value of
this book.I highly recommend this textbook to students and
professionals of
international health, as well as to anyone who is interested in the
ingredients of
human health and well-being in an international context."
  From the book Foreword by Archbishop Emeritus, Desmond Tutu
