The textbook tackles difficult issues as how to prioritize disparate public health problems, how to identify and implement cost effective strategies, the need for mobilizing the community throguh community involvement and the need for a comprehensive rather than an issue/disease oriented approach for the resolution of public health problems. A comprehensive accessible resource book for postgraduate students in public health and related fields.
