Recenzje

This book helps us understand why health systems in poor countries are weak and how to analyze health inequality from a social perspective integrated with biological concerns. The big challenge now is to improve the health of the world's poor based on what we know. Mukherjee radically recasts global health into a field centered on the systemic, long term, and high-quality public provision of care. Both the pursuit of sustainable development and the honoring of health as a human right will be greatly aided by her penetrating investigations and presentation.
