This volume draws on the experience of not only health practitioners but also key individuals from several disciplines, such as educators, political leaders and bankers, in an attempt to find solutions to many of the complex health issues facing the region. Health issues in the Caribbean analyses and offers direction for public health practice in the twenty-first century. It examines a wide range of health problems facing the region and provides new ideas on health-care delivery and possible directions for the future."--BOOK JACKET.
