Ethical Public Health Policy Within Pandemics

Know about the book -

Ethical Public Health Policy Within Pandemics is written by Michael Boylan and published by Springer Nature. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 3030996921 (ISBN 10) and 9783030996925 (ISBN 13).

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.
