Global Health Watch 2: An Alternative World Health Project
London and New York, Zed Books, 2008, ISBN:978-1-84813-035-7, 386 pp
GHW2 reports on the current state of global health compiled by the People’s Health Movement, civil-society organisations, academic institutions, and NGOs worldwide. The report addresses more complex political and economic structures underpinning health inequalities, and the impact of factors such as globalisation, climate change, and the ascendancy of neo-liberal doctrine on the world health situation. GHW2 is an educational resource for health professionals and activists, and also makes clear the need for global health advocates to engage in lobbying key actors to do do better and to do more, while resisting harmful forces.
