Executive Summary
The World Health Organisation (WHO) has published Health systems and the challenge of communicable disease: experiences from Europe and Latin America. Focusing on the two regions, the book offers an historical overview of the competition between micro-organisms and humans and the current status of this struggle. It also examines the extent to which societies and governments are prepared for future challenges and the experiences of countries in Europe and Latin America in developing effective responses. The book targets both policy-makers in high and middle-income countries and students of the creation and implementation of health policy.
