This unique introduction to the
essentials of global health has been constructed by medical students from all
over the world through the help of Medsin (now Students for Global Health) and
the International Federation of Medical Students' Association (IFMSA). The
global student and trainee author team, recruited and guided initially by Drs
Dan and Felicity Knights (themselves students and officers of Medsin when work
commenced), identified the key areas to be covered. Then the book they put
together was edited by two experts in the field: Mr B Sethia and Professor
Parveen Kumar. Royalties raised from this book go to a grant fund for student
global health projects.
