Like its critically-acclaimed predecessor, Global Health Watch 2 covers a comprehensive range of health topics, including access to medicines, mental health, water and sanitation, nutrition, and war and conflict. Unlike other reports on global health, it also draws attention to the politics of global health and the policies and actions of key actors. Hence chapters on official aid programmes, including a dedicated chapter on the United States foreign assistance programme for global health; the Gates Foundation; the World Bank; and the Global Fund; and the World Health Organisation. Not only is the Global Health Watch 2 an educational resource for health advocates and professionals wanting to understand global health, it makes it clear that global health advocates need to engage in lobbying many actors to do better and to do more. Baby Milk Action's Patti Rundall and IBFAN’s Elisabeth Sterken and Dr Arun Gupta wrote the chapter on infant feeding. 320 pages. See the comments board for review quotes.

About GLOBAL HEALTH WATCH Global Health Watch is a collaboration of leading popular movements and nongovernmental organizations comprising civil society activists, community groups, health workers and academics. It has compiled this second edition of its alternative world health report - a hard-hitting, evidence-based analysis of the political economy of health and health care - as a challenge to the major global bodies that influence health. Its monitoring of institutions including the World Bank, the World Health Organization and UNICEF reveals that while some important initiatives are being taken, much more needs to be done to have any hope of meeting the UN’s health-related Millennium Development Goals. £20.00UK
