Book: v "Foundations of Global Health & Human Rights"

 

A few points from the book to close:

Extending Human Rights beyond HIV: The Struggle against Tuberculosis (pp.229-231).

Afterword: Resilience in the Fight for Human Rights in Global Health - 

the first lesson of first aid.

"You can best care for the world when you take care of yourself." (p.459).

 

The index is very good. I might have expected more on corruption, fraud, and counterfeit healthcare products, but then this could be a distraction. It is alarming to read of the ongoing criminalization of groups in Asia, Africa and globally concerned with substance misuse and sexual health.

Even though I can extend thanks to OUP for my copy. Reading this book is a great investment in time.
