Disease and Mortality in Sub-Saharan Africa, Bagian 63Richard G. Feachem, Dean T. Jamison World Bank, 1991 - 356 halaman This book marks the first step in a new review of health policy - a review that focuses specifically on sub - Saharan Africa. Several factors make this exercise particularly timely: 1) the concern that the economic downturn of the early 1980s may have adversely affected the health sector in Africa; 2) the need to evaluate the impact of primary health care strategies, especially the key elements of immunization and oral rehydration; 3) the completion of a substantial body of epidemiological and demographic analyses, which provides a much improved empirical basis for assessing health conditions and recent health trends; 4) the concern that the global emergence of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) and its sharp impact in selected African foci have undermined development prospects in some countries; and 5) the potential value of explicitly seeking lessons from the Bank's experience with health sector operations in Africa. The chapters in this book were commissioned to address the third point - to assemble in one place lessons from the analyses of the epidemiological and demographic conditions that define the problems facing Africa's health systems. This book sets an important part of the agenda of work for African health officials over the next decade. |
