Health Links Forging Links for Health Research: Perspectives from the Council on Health Research for Development by Victor R. Neufeld, As part of the lead up to the International Conference on Health Research for Development ( held in Bangkok in October 2000), the Council on Health Research for Development (COHRED) has called upon its associates around the world to reflect on achievements and setbacks in the 1990s. This book is the result of those reflections. "In Forging Links for Health Research, " a team of international experts record the important lessons of the past decade and suggest what must be done in the research arena to ensure a healthy future for all. It follows up on the landmark publication Health Research: Essential Link to Equity in Development (Oxford University Press, 1990) and is unique in its combination of evocative human stories and expert insight from international health researchers. "Forging Links for Health Research" will be of interest to academics, researchers, students, and policymakers in public health, epidemiology, health sciences, international health, development studies, and international affairs; professionals in donor organizations, development organizations, and NGOs worldwide; and concerned citizens, particularly health-care workers, interested in international affairs and Third World development.
The New Public Health: An Introduction for the 21st Century by Ted Tulchinsky, Countries around the world are engaged in health reform, which places great demands on health care providers and systems managers. From the managed care revolution in the United States to the rebuilding of health systems in postcommunist Russia, these reforms impact millions of health care workers, government officials, patients, and the public alike. The New Public Health will help students and practitioners understand factors affecting the reform process of health care organization and delivery. It links the classic public health issues such as environmental sanitation, health education, and epidemiology with the new issues of universal health care, economics, and management of health systems for the new century. This text provides a comprehensive look at the issues facing undergraduate and graduate students as well as the new generation of physicians, nurses, health managers, and policy makers as they seek to define a new approach to public health and health service.
