Global public health is under constant strain, due to recent, ongoing, and potential global health crises especially in connection with emerging and reemerging infectious diseases. The past few decades have witnessed an unprecedented eruption of pandemics and epidemics spurred by globalization, climate change and population explosion. The book Pandemics and Global Health portrays a bird’s eye view about pandemics and global public health in the 21st century. The pandemic has caused untold human suffering, social upheavals and a crippled economy which have wreaked havoc globally. This book is useful for academicians, policy makers, scholars, researchers, health professionals and people involved in combating epidemics and pandemics.
