First published in 1973, this textbook was designed to provide medical students and other trainees with an introduction to the principles of public health with special reference to the situation in developing countries of the tropics. The book stresses basic principles illustrated by selected examples. Infectious diseases feature strongly and diseases are grouped epidemiologically, based on the mode of transmission and the public health approaches for their control. The authors also highlight the global epidemiology of Type II diabetes and the effects of smoking as examples of the growing incidence of chronic disease in developing countries.
