This collection of case studies uncovers the
details of actual disease outbreaks and other
fi eld investigations from within the United
States and around the world from Kentucky
to Kenya. The cases cover infectious and
non-infectious disease outbreaks as well

Global Health Disparities: Closing the Gap
Through Good Governance is a comprehensive
exploration of worldwide conditions and
government responsibility in health care. Rooted
in human rights, this essential reference defi nes

“good governance” in health by universal access
to primary health care, primary education and

It explores the geography of health—
including social, political, economic and

developing, least developed and a new level,
“most developed,” reserved for those countries
with maximum life expectancy. 192 countries are
ranked based on life expectancy and other key
demographic indicators.
This unique text calls for partnership across
