The Global Human Right to Health: Dream or Possibility?
The Global Human Aptly to Health: Dream or Possibility? Books
Product Description
This work includes forewords by Senator Noel A Kinsella and John A Gibson, respectively Speaker, Canadian Senate; Barrister at Law and Principal, International Refugee Consulting. This is a book based on what the Charter of the UN states about health as a basic human aptly. General readers will find a refreshing, up-to-date account of why these issues are so crucial, even as professionals will find the cogent epidemiological analyses needed to inform research efforts. The book argues that the major causes of ill-health are not bacteria and viruses, or even war and natural disasters, but poverty. If we may possibly solve the immensely complex problems of global inequities in wealth, the health inequities would largely vanish. The come forth is not a simple one. This book sets out, among other things, to break down the communication barriers between the ‘professionals’ (doctors, economists and international bankers) and the run of the mill person who looks with dismay at international injustice but feels really inadequate in the face of it. The book argues that neoliberal approaches to global finance and international trade, which are inextricably linked to the looming environmental crisis, are not the only way open to us, and suggests alternatives. Above all, it offers hope and a helpful role for all of us in solving the problems. Theodore H MacDonald’s previous books have won international acclaim. To this new title he brings to bear the fruits of years of experience as a medical doctor, teacher and researcher in some of the poorest countries in the world. This book is provocative and will inspire informed action on the part of all of us. “The passion, conviction and wealth of knowledge of this work’s author are evident. His ability as a communicator in conjunction with a tempered expertise held by few enables him to identify, question and provide his reflection on the aptly to health and its relation to global economics. The content and style of the writing reflects MacDonald’s impressive experiential background. Theodore Macdonald is known internationally as a chief in the promotion of the human aptly to health. Not only does this work have fantastic heuristic value, it also serves as an example of how the efforts of one remarkable individual can address the concerns of millions.” – Noel A Kinsella, in his Foreword. “Optimistic, clear and concise. [The book] greatly informs a lay reader like myself. Arguments are invariably backed up by hard empirical data drawn from a range of authoritative sources. [This book] significantly adds to the understanding of health as a fundamental human aptly, the content of that aptly and what must be done to make sure that it can become a reality for the millions who presently lack even an acceptable standard of primary health care. The reader is left with a clear thought; unless we evaluate alternatives to existing structures to result in about qualitative exchange in health outcomes in the developing world, environmental disaster fuelled by war and international disarray is our probable destiny. I am honoured to have been questioned to write this forward and enthusiastically urge it to anyone with an interest in the future of mankind.” – John A Gibson, in his Foreword.
