Description
Book SynopsisA Healthy Society draws on one doctor’s experience in family practice, community building, and politics to envision a new approach to politics – and a healthier world.
Trade ReviewA Healthy Society now includes chapters on poverty, food security, and climate change. Thought-provoking and highly readable, it weaves together the vision of a young politician--Meili was elected leader of the Saskatchewan NDP in March 2018--and the advocacy of a good physician who has worked in rural and urban Saskatchewan and in Africa. -- Dr. Fiona Clement, director of the Health Technology Assessment Unit at the O'Brien Institute of Public Health, University of Calgary * Alberta Views, Vol. 21, No. 9 *
