The diverse group of contributors includes experts in clinical medicine, pharmacy, economics, anthropology, public health, and the social sciences.

Review :
Written by experts from diverse backgrounds, this valuable collection of chapters addresses a range of key health issues in Sub-Saharan Africa. It features original analyses and interesting insights. The contributions will not only be highly useful for academics and professionals working in this area, they also provide an excellent resource for those seeking to gain a better understanding of health systems in developing countries. Contemporary Healthcare Issues in Sub-Saharan Africa: Social, Economic, and Cultural Perspectives gives an excellent overview of health challenges in Sub-Saharan Africa. It provides a multi-disciplinary and comprehensive view of factors contributing to the relatively poor health performance and suggested health policies. It highlights not only financial, but also cultural and behavioral constraints; not only the need to strengthen the health system, but also environmental and food safety aspects. This book is highly relevant for students of public health and health policy, especially in SSA, as well as for health policy decision-makers and anyone interested in global health.
