| Abstract
|
:
|
The Health of the People is the first report to focus on the health of the 738 million people living in the African Region of the World Health Organization. While acknowledging that Africa confronts the world's most dramatic public health crisis, the report offers hope that over time the region can address the health challenges it faces, given sufficient international support. It provides a comprehensive analysis of key public health issues and progress made on them in the Africa Region.
