Primer on International Health

by Robert W. Buckingham, M.D., Dr.P.H. ’78

Benjamin Cummings (San Francisco) 2000

This book addresses the process of sharing knowledge of international health among colleagues and students, a process that becomes more important as commerce and international travel accelerate both the globalization of human life and the pace of human and disease interactions. Buckingham and his co-contributors cover issues including global environmental health, primary care, malnutrition, maternal and child health, comparative national health care systems, epidemiology and the future of international health.
