Mountains
Beyond Mountains: The Quest of Dr. Paul Farmer, a Man Who
Would Cure the World
by Tracy Kidder
At the center of Mountains Beyond Mountains stands Paul Farmer.
Doctor, Harvard professor, renowned infectious-disease specialist,
anthropologist, the recipient of a MacArthur “genius” grant,
world-class Robin Hood, Farmer was brought up in a bus and
on a boat, and in medical school found his life’s calling:
to diagnose and cure infectious diseases and to bring the lifesaving
tools of modern medicine to those who need them most. This
magnificent book shows how radical change can be fostered in
situations that seem insurmountable, and it also shows how
a meaningful life can be created, as Farmer—brilliant,
charismatic, charming, both a leader in international health
and a doctor who finds time to make house calls in Boston and
the mountains of Haiti—blasts through convention to get
results. |

Textbook
of
International Health
by Paul F. Basch
This excellent text brings together information that students
and professionals working in the wide variety of disciplines
concerned with international health will find in no other single
source. It synthesizes historical, cultural, environmental,
economic and political considerations to provide a comprehensive
global overview of the many factors that determine the health
of individuals and populations. The major determinants of health
status in all regions of the world are discussed, and interventions
undertaken at community, national, and international levels
are described. For this edition, new chapters on health management
information systems and health sector reform have been added.
There are new discussions of structural adjustment; the global
burden of disease; application of the disability adjusted life
year (DALY); poverty, equity and health; disaster and refugee
relief programs; aging populations; and development, resource
use, and the environment. The entire text has been updated,
including the sections on child health, women's and reproductive
health, maternal mortality, and emerging infectious diseases.
International organizations, their policies and programs are
reviewed. Trends in foreign aid, such as sector-wide approaches
are highlighted. There is extensive coverage of the basic models
of health care systems and their variants with an analysis
of changes in the former Soviet Union and reunified Germany. |
