This perceptive book highlights the need for cooperation between major
organisations - whether intergovernmental, commercial or
nongovernmental - to ensure developing countries have access to
affordable medicines and vaccines, in spite of their different
mandates and interests. Yves Beigbeder reviews specific areas of
international public health issues and programmes from the vantage
point of one particular intergovernmental organisation - the World
Health Organisation. He includes studies on the value and risks of
public-private partnerships, the access of poor populations to
essential drugs and the fight against malaria and tuberculosis and the
HIV/AIDS epidemic. Further chapters focus on polio eradication,
onchocerciasis control, alliances for vaccines and immunization, the
promotion of breastfeeding, and the struggle against the tobacco
industry.
