Gunn and Michele Masellis, International Association for Humanitarian Medicine, SwitzerlandAs major events like war, epidemics, and climate change continue to push global health issues to the fore, the international medical community is called upon more than ever to address the needs of the most vulnerable.

Forty-one essays from 33 international contributors set out the principles of humanitarian medicine, beginning with the concept of health as a human right, and examining topics such as quality of life, torture, and nuclear conflict. The book draws on important treaties and conventions throughout the history of the United Nations and the World Health Organization, and pays tribute to the efforts of individuals and organizations working to correct health inequities worldwide.A sampling of the topics:The potential of humanitarian medicine in torture prevention and intervention.The varied roles of international and nongovernmental agencies in humanitarian medicine.Critical issues specific to women, children, migrants, refugees, and the poor.Health effects in an increasingly nuclear world.Applications of humanitarian medicine in specialized areas such as heart surgery and trauma.
