PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
David Sanders, Emeritus Professor, was the founding Director of the School of Public Health, University of the Western Cape, South Africa; a founding member of the People's Health Movement (global and South Africa); Honorary Professor, Department Paediatrics and Child Health, University Cape Town. An internationally recognized academic, David managed to bridge the divide between academia, socialist politics and health activism. He was not afraid to speak truth to power in the pursuit of health justice, and inspired health care workers to see beyond curative care to the social and commercial determinants of health.
This book presents an accessible, comprehensive, and revealing analysis of the political economy of health. It provides a much-needed discussion of the alternatives to the pure capitalist approach to achieving equity in health outcomes. It provides hopeful solutions for the provision of comprehensive primary health care based on local needs. * Doody's Book Review * For years, attendees at global health conferences saw Sanders rise to ask, politely, pointed questions that many felt unable to ask. How had technology and metrics gained such prominence while engagement with communities and their local conditions and priorities were too often discounted? Sanders is now gone. But in this book, and in the work of People's Health Movement to which he devoted his final years, can be found the critical analyses, courage, and facts needed to stand up and speak truth to power. * Mary T Bassett, The Perspectives *
