DISEASE HUMAN HEALTH AND REGIONAL GROWTH AND DE...

This book brings together new studies on regional disparities in the provision and maintenance
of health in Asia. Specifically  the individual chapters shed light on the various health
challenges that Asian regions face with regard to environmental health  communicable and
non-communicable diseases  reproductive health  and the development of health systems. The book
departs from the existing literature on this subject in three ways. First  it explicitly
recognizes that health is essential to the daily lives of human beings. Second  it underscores
the fact that good health improves learning  employee productivity  and incomes. Third  the
book demonstrates the ways in which an understanding of the preceding two points contributes to
our grasp of economic growth and development. Because Asia is now the fastest-growing and most
dynamic continent in the world  the respective chapters provide practical guidance concerning
two key questions: First  how do we effectively address the health challenges in individual
regions of Asia? Second  how do we ensure that the proposed health interventions lead to
sustainable economic growth and development? To this end  the book emphasizes modeling and
illustrates the role that sound empirical modeling can play in developing measures that
sustainably address the health challenges confronting disparate Asian regions. All chapters
were written by international experts who are active researchers in their respective fields.
Hence  this book is highly recommended to all readers seeking an in-depth and up-to-date
perspective on some of the most important issues at the interface of human health and regional
growth and development in Asia.
