Opis

BMA Medical Book of the Year 2021 This title discusses how globalization impacts the health of individuals and populations. It focuses on how globalization processes have impacted various social determinants of health such as income, employment, or migration patterns, and how this in turn shapes inequities in health outcomes.

Recenzje

Many books address global health or social determinants of health, but none are quite like this one, which takes on globalization as determinant of the health determinants. It brings a fresh perspective using case studies to illustrate key points. It is a nice addition to a crowded market. Carole A. Kenner, PhD, RN, FAAN, FNAP, ANEF, Doodys
