Setting Healthcare Ethics in Social Context

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

What is health policy for? Alan Cribb addresses this question in a way that cuts across disciplinary boundaries. His core argument is that biomedical ethics should draw upon public health values and ethics. He argues that everybody has some share of responsibility for health, including a responsibility for promoting greater health equality.
