Routledge Handbook of Global Public Health in Asia

As the world’s largest and most populous continent Asia is a major player in the challenges for improving global public health. With substantial health inequalities, environmental degradation due to rapid urbanisation, higher risks of natural disasters, increasing migration and an aging population, the public health of the Asian population will only improve through global, national, local and individual efforts. This Handbook is essential reading not only for students, professionals and scholars of global public health and related fields but all professionals and others interested in the health of Asia.
