'This is an excellent text covering a range of relevant topics in an understandable and informative fashion that will be useful not only for healthcare students undertaking an overseas elective placement but also for qualified professionals wishing to develop their knowledge and experience.' -- Catherine Delves-Yates 'This is a very practical book, suitable for undergraduate students and may also be of benefit to postgraduate masters' students and practitioners studying and working in global health. The book covers important public health topics of global interest, including health systems, human resources for health and climate change. The inclusion of important key issues of global health such as the double burden of communicable and non-communicable diseases which now confronts many countries in the developing world is refreshing to read. I like the case studies and examples used in the book, which I found very useful for self-learners. As a lecturer in global health, I will definitely recommend this to students pursuing public health courses, especially distance learning undergraduate and postgraduate students.' -- Dr Robert Akparibo, Deputy Course Director and Lecturer in public health "This is an authoritative text-book on global health for those studying health and healthcare. It provides guidance on the global context of healthcare, global health issues and their influence on practice. It will be a useful and accessible introduction for undergraduate healthcare students and those studying healthcare management at masters level." -Pat Perry, Edinburgh Napier University -- Pat Perry
