Author Description

A unique and timely set of 22 case studies from around the world, this book illustrates a wide range of approaches in the field of public health and development. Detailed analyses of the success of several global efforts in EPI, ORT and family planning are juxtaposed to difficulties encountered by various communities where commitment to social programs has been shaken by changing governments and economic upheavals. The editors interrelate the case studies to demonstrate the successes and problems encountered in realizing the goal of health for all.
