Book Synopsis

Global public health is of growing concern to most governments and populations, nowhere more so than in Asia, the worldâs largest and most populous continent. Whilst major advances have been made in controlling infectious diseases through public health measures as well as clinical medical treatments, the world now faces other challenges including ageing populations and the epidemic crisis of obesity and non-communicable diseases.
