Summary

"Critical Government Documents on Health Care reviews of many of the major health issues facing us today. The book does not offer any new information nor attempt to take sides. Instead, it is an attempt to gather together information from as many sources as possible and presents arguments for and against the issues covered so that you the reader can come to your own conclusions. Areas covered include killer diseases such as heart disease, cancer, stroke, respiratory diseases and obesity. It discusses the arguments for and against immunization and looks at issues which impact your health such as the environment and pollution. There is a detailed section on Alzheimers disease and other forms of dementia and the problems it poses for healthcare providers and caregivers, and this is coupled with all the other issues that arise from a growing aging population. Finally the book discusses external threats such as pandemics, Ebola and other diseases that can rapidly spread from continent to continent and what is and should be done to contain them"--Publisher's description
