What is the basis that justifies public health in the first place? Why should individuals be disadvantaged for the sake of the group? How do policy concerns and clinical practice work together and work against each other? Can the boundaries of public health be extended to include social ills that are amenable to group-dynamic solutions? What about political issues? How can international finance make an impact? These are some of the crucial questions that form the core of this volume of original essays sure to cause practitioners to engage in a critical re-evaluation of the role of ethics in public health policy.International library of ethics, law, and the new medicine ;v. 42.Public healthMoral and ethical aspectsMedical policyMoral and ethical aspectsMedical ethicsPublic healthMoral and ethical aspects.Medical policyMoral and ethical aspects.Medical ethics.174.294614.09944Boylan Michael1952-724532MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910782095803321International public health policy and ethics3680706UNINA
