Ethical Public Health Policy Within Pandemics

Theory and Practice in Ethical Pandemic Administration

246 Seiten, Hardcover

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

This book contains original essays that look at contagious/infectious disease pandemics and the ethical public policy and administration  these have entailed. In particular, the pandemics of the 1918 flu pandemic, HIV in the 1990s, SARS in 2003, Ebola from 2014–2016 and the novel COVID-19 in 2020 are highlighted.

The contributions in this work offer the reader insights in these and several other recent pandemics that present differently—either via contagion or mortality rate—and how each should be addressed by countries of various sorts. This book is a must for the ongoing debate on how we should treat public health crises, such as the one we have all just encountered in the novel COVID-19 pandemic.
