Public Health Law and Ethics

"Public Health Law and Ethics --companion to the outstanding volume Public Health Law: Power, Duty, Restraint --provides a thoughtful and applied approach to a nascent academic field. More important, through a careful selection of excerpts, it offers reasonable policy and legal answers to the practical dilemmas faced by those interested in improving public health, in general, and the health conditions of the vulnerable, in particular."--Julio Frenk, President of the University of Miami and former Minister of Health of Mexico " Public Health Law and Ethics is an essential part of every public health practitioner's toolkit. It provides critical insight into a wide range of core and emerging public health issues and offers tools for public health leaders and agencies to work to affect policy change. This book has helped my team to think courageously and aggressively as we seek to combat health disparities in Baltimore." --Leana Wen, Health Commissioner, City of Baltimore, Maryland and author of When Doctors Don't Listen: How to Avoid Misdiagnoses and Unnecessary Tests
