This innovative textbook, written by an author based in Zambia, provides an invaluable perspective on the key public health issues facing Africa today.
As well as outlining the fundamental principles of public health, the book highlights the specific challenges faced in low-resource settings across the continent. It is split into four parts. Part 1 covers the core concepts of public health, including the different determinants which effect public health, as well as how health systems are organized. Part 2 looks at environmental factors such as air pollution, water sanitation and food and nutrition, while Part 3 focusses on issues around infectious and non-communicable diseases, including chapters on Tuberculosis, Malaria, HIV/AIDS, maternal health and mental health. Part 4 covers emerging issues effecting public health such as climate change and the effects of mining in the region.
With each chapter providing examples and case studies to illustrate the issues, success stories and innovative approaches being taken in countries such as Tanzania, Uganda, Kenya, Malawi and Nigeria, this unique book will fascinate students of Public Health, Global Health, African Studies and beyond.
