Description

Healthcare Management Strategy, Communication, and Development Challenges and Solutions in Developing Countries analyzes the ways in which health services, public health administration, and healthcare policies are managed in developing countries and how intercultural, intergroup, and mass communication practices are weakening those efforts. If developing countries are to reach their development goals, their leaders must have a firm understanding of the impact of infectious diseases on their people and take prompt action to fix socioeconomic issues arising from the problems associated with poor health practices. Drawing on experiences from international health organizations such as the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), commissioned in poor countries to assist national governments in improving the wellbeing of their citizens, this volume analyzes maternal and child mortality and the spread of infectious diseases, and offers communication strategies for the management of malaria, HIV Aids, Polio, tuberculosis, and others in Somalia, Madagascar, Ghana, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Nigeria, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and India.

This collection of essays-representing management of health care policy, advocacy, and on-the-ground communication strategy-is a must read for scholars and practitioners in developing countries, and program managers in charge of health in international organizations. -- Arvind Singhal, University of Texas at El Paso This collection assesses health management and health communication from indigenous perspectives in contextualized settings. It is a welcome and much needed addition to the literature, which continues to be dominated by Western approaches. -- Jan Servaes, City University of Hong Kong Emmanuel K. Ngwainmbi has edited a fantastic book, one that will expand our understanding of healthcare policies in Africa. By assembling a group of outstanding scholars and authors, Ngwainmbi's volume is sure to become one of the classics of the study of African communication styles in health. This should be recommended to all students interested in Africa and communication. -- Molefi Kete Asante, author of Revolutionary Pedagogy: Primer for Teachers of Black Children This volume provides a soup to nuts examination of strategies and solutions for the provision of health services, public health administration, healthcare policy, and advocacy in developing countries using health communications theory and practice. It is an important read for not only health communications specialists but also for social scientists, public health policy experts, and students. -- David Himmelgreen, University of South Florida
