International Public Health Patients' Rights v the Protection of Patents Yves Beigbeder Ashgate Publishing 173 pp; 47.50 ISBN: 0 7546 3621 6
This is an interesting insight into the workings of inter- governmental, non-governmental and commercial organisations in health care. The author discusses the major health issues of developing countries, including the problems of providing drug therapy. Beigbeder examines the relationship between the United Nations, the World Health Organization, big businesses, the pharmaceutical industry and international public health policy in relation to breast feeding, essential drugs and the worldwide HIV/ AIDS epidemic. This book is a must for those hoping to work in an international setting or with refugees. Sadly, the price may mean that it remains a library book.
