About this product
Product Information
We live in a world where despite the colossal amount spent globally on healthcare programs, massive inequalities in health--both within and between countries--still exist. In this path-breaking new collection, Geeta Sodhi and Abraar Karan have gathered essays that draw on in-depth empirical research spanning across Asia, Latin America, and Africa, bringing together first-hand experience from a range of international health experts. Protecting the Health of the Poor provides an outstanding overview of the legal, political, and social factors obstructing the inherent human right for health in poor-performance countries of the global south. This remarkable book offers fresh perspectives from critically engaged scholars who offer a compelling case for re-evaluating how we approach healthcare in developing countries at a global, national, and local level. Together, the contributors make a fierce, logical argument for the necessity of organizations and governments worldwide collaborating on a comprehensive agenda to fight against poverty and to protect the health of the poor.
