Ahead of its time when first published, Essentials of Global Health anticipated a shift that has now become mainstream. The first edition was originally authored by medical students and junior doctors. It is now updated by leading experts in the field. With global health embedded in medical school curricula worldwide, this new edition offers a timely, accessible introduction to a field that is as wide-ranging as it is essential.

This helps you build a clear framework for analysing health inequities, evaluating interventions, and translating evidence into compassionate care. Each chapter ends with references which elaborate further on the topic, making this title a great first introduction to Global Health.
