Health
and Globalization
SARS
has put health issues on the front burner of the global
agenda. But beyond this deadly new illness dominating
current headlines, what other health issues should we
look out for?
Today's
most serious health threats range from AIDS and malaria
to obesity and tobacco-related
illness.
From
SARS's crippling effect on local economies to how global
trade and travel help spread disease, we look at how
health is intertwined with the global economy.
And
from post-war Iraq's health
risks to South Africa's
struggle with AIDS, we explore the intersection
of health and politics.
