International Public Health: Patients' Rights Vs. the Protection of Patents (Global Health) - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

The acceptance by the United Nations and the World Health Organization of profit-seeking entities as partners along with the governments they serve and the non-governmental organizations that they share goals and values with, raises questions about the extent and limits of the permissible interaction with those entities in formulating and making decisions, says Beigbeder (Webster U., Geneva, Switzerland). She reviews specific international public health issues and programs from the perspective of the WHO, and surveys its interaction and that of other intergovernmental organizations with profit-seeking enterprises, business-issued foundations, and international NGOs as monitors, critics, and advocates.
