The World Health Organisation (WHO) aims to tackle a range of problems in world health, from infectious and preventable diseases in the developing world to heart and lung disease in the developed world as well as the global fight against AIDS. This book assesses the impact of a number of WHO campaigns which aim to eradicate diseases and promote good health worldwide.
The global organisations at the centre of the 'World Watch' books are attempting to confront critical quality-of-life issues for all of humanity, not just the privileged minority. They raise awareness and challenge complacency, fight for causes and influence the decisions and actions of politicians and industrialists. The books provide an insight into the aims and methods of each organisation and discuss the complex problems each is trying to address.
