Summary:Annotation "Health and Development" presents a broad and detailed description of the multifaceted aspects of health and development across the globe. Recession in the North and debt servicing in the South have reduced public expenditure on health and welfare. The links between regional, economic and environmental factors and the health of a population are becoming more pronounced. The contributors to this study, all authorities in their areas of research, examine issues at the forefront of health and development research: the effects of economic adjustment on health, especially for the poor; the potential for extending health services; the effects of environmental change on health; epidemiological change; socio-cultural factors in HIV/AIDS transmission; the use of traditional and community health care resources; and the health of women, children and the elderly.
