Introduction to Global Health Delivery
Practice, Equity, Human Rights
«This book is excellent. It describes in a very clear, well-organized, and readable manner the causes of healthcare inequalities and what can be done to address them. Its message is equally applicable to underserved rural areas, reservations, and poor inner-city neighborhoods of the U.S. as it is to poor countries that bear the burden of colonialism. This edition's sections addressing the COVID-19 pandemic present a much-needed update.»

In the last two decades, the rise of global health studies at universities across the world reflects the interest of a growing generation of students motivated to be involved in progressive global change. Grassroots advocacy for health equity and strong leadership in the global South have catalyzed a paradigm shift from primarily preventative health programs to holistic systems providing health care as a human right. To succeed in this field, students must not only
understand the elements needed to deliver equitable health care but also the historical and social factors that cause and propagate health disparities.
An Introduction to Global Health Delivery, Second Edition is an immersive introduction to global health's origins, actors, interventions, and challenges from the ongoing impacts of racism to the momentum for the delivery of care that began with the AIDS movement through to the current era of COVID-19. Informed by physician Joia Mukherjee's quarter-century of experience fighting disease and poverty in more than a dozen countries, it delivers a clear-eyed overview of the movement
underway to address injustice, reduce global health disparities, and deliver health care as a human right. This second edition extends the lens of global health delivery to address the challenges of COVID-19 and the prevention of future pandemics. It features updated chapters exploring pandemics, preparedness, and
the intersection of key social movements with the right to health care, including Black Lives Matter, decolonization, and climate justice.
Enriched with case studies and exercises that encourage readers to think critically about equitable global health delivery, An Introduction to Global Health Delivery, Second Edition is the essential starting point for readers of any background seeking a practical grounding in global health's promise and progress.

«An Introduction to Global Health Delivery [is] a highly readable, inspiring book that firmly places global health in the context of equity and human rights.»
Madhukar Pai, Nature Microbiology
«A must-read for both newcomers and established professionals in the field of global health. Mukherjee captures the essence of global health, presenting concrete examples of the stepping stones involved in transforming health in countries throughout the world.»
Agnes Binagwaho, former Minister of Health, Rwanda
«A comprehensive, essential resource linking theory, data, and implementation in ways that are novel and, most importantly, immediately useful for anyone working in global health. This book guides the reader through the evolution of the field, then into a much more pragmatic approach that holds at its center the moral conviction that all people in the world have a right to quality health care.»
Jim Y. Kim, former President, World Bank Group
«This book helps us understand why health systems in poor countries are weak and how to analyze health inequality from a social perspective integrated with biological concerns. The big challenge now is to improve the health of the world's poor based on what we know. Mukherjee radically recasts global health into a field centered on the systemic, long term, and high-quality public provision of care. Both the pursuit of sustainable development and the honoring of health as a human right will be greatly aided by her penetrating investigations and presentation.»
