Global Public Health - Robert Beaglehole; Ruth Bonita - Oxford University Press

The lessons from these chapters are surprisingly similar: The third section covers several cross-cutting themes, including the developing field of international public health ethics and the central and neglected role of the public in strengthening the practice of public health. The final chapter summarizes the major themes of the book, and explores the opportunities for building the capacity of the public health workforce to respond to the major global health needs. Despite the enormity of the challenges facing public health practitioners, especially in low and middle income countries, the tone adpoted in the final section of the book is relatively optimistic.

The first two chapters chart the global context and scope of public health and provide an overview of current global health status. The core of the book is comprised of nine chapters providing a summary for different countries and regions of the world of the trends in health status and the principal health determinants, as well as the policy implications and public health challenges for the various populations examined in these chapters.

Three further chapters in the final segments of the book cover contemporary health challenge and opportunities: In the final chapter, public health veterans, Robert Beaglehole and Ruth Bonita, have drafted a unique and insightful chapter that ties together nicely the various strands of this book. Despite the daunting public health context of the 21st century, weaknesses in public health infrastructures and the workforces, the double burden of communicable and non-communicable diseases, and the threats posed by globalisation the authors of this summary chapter are optimistic that a renaissance of public health may be just around the corner.

However, for this to transpire the intrinsic multi-sectorality of public health must become a social and political reality: For instance, the links between trade liberalisation and public health and poverty, particularly in developing countries, demonstrate that public health practitioners cannot ignore the activities and policies of other sectors.

Pandemics - a worrying global public health threat

I am convinced that in time we will look back on this book as a public health classic. It brings together an armada of intellectual heavyweights in contemporary public health, and also manages to map out a way forward amid the unpredictable and tangled realities of public health in the early 21st century.

The book presents a concise, logical, and practical template for navigating the potentially troubled waters that lie ahead of us in the world of contemporary public health. Civil War American History: Users without a subscription are not able to see the full content.
