Health Issues (Paperback)

What is health? How is health interpreted by different societies? How can we promote a healthier world? Health Issues guides the student through the broader implications of health care from the fundamental needs of the Third World to areas such as alternative medicine, modern threats to our health such as AIDS and problems caused by enviromental changes. As the deadline approaches for the World Health Organisation's aim of 'health for all by the year 2000', this wide-ranging survey assesses the progress made towards that goal.
