Author Description

The first edition of 'The Struggle for Health' was published in 1985 and was widely acclaimed by those seeking a broader and deeper political understanding of ill health, beyond the medical model of care. It was a revolutionary book, that has now been updated and includes health problems that have emerged since the 1980s. This second edition includes health problems that have emerged since the 1980s, notably HIV/AIDS, COVID-19, and other epidemics, and the increase in non-communicable diseases, such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes.
