Drawing inspiration from the Global South, where health disparities are often starkly visible, this book challenges the prevailing notion of health as a purely biological phenomenon. Instead, it argues that health is deeply intertwined with social, economic, and environmental factors. By examining the experiences and perspectives of people and communities in the South, the book provides a fresh and compelling lens through which to understand and address health inequities.

Key Features of the Book

Interdisciplinary approach: Bringing together insights from medicine, public health, social sciences, and humanities, the book offers a comprehensive understanding of social medicine.
Focus on the Global South: By centering the experiences of people and communities in the South, the book challenges the dominant Eurocentric perspectives in healthcare.
Emphasis on social justice: The book argues that health equity and social justice are inseparable, and it proposes strategies for addressing the root causes of health disparities.
