Medicine, Mobility, and Power in Global Africa : Transnational Health and Healing Hardback
Edited by Hansjoerg Dilger, Abdoulaye Kane, Stacey A. Langwick
Hardback
Description
Recent political, social, and economic changes in Africa have provoked radical shifts in the landscape of health and healthcare.
Medicine, Mobility, and Power in Global Africa captures the multiple dynamics of a globalized world and its impact on medicine, health, and the delivery of healthcare in Africa-and beyond.
Essays by an international group of contributors take on intractable problems such as HIV/AIDS, malaria, and insufficient access to healthcare, drugs, resources, hospitals, and technologies.
The movements of people and resources described here expose the growing challenges of poverty and public health, but they also show how new opportunities have been created for transforming healthcare and promoting care and healing.
