This book brings together new studies on regional disparities in the provision and maintenance of health in Asia. Specifically the individual chapters shed light on the various health challenges that Asian regions face with regard to environmental health communicable and non-communicable diseases reproductive health and the development of health systems. The book departs from the existing literature on this subject in three ways. First it explicitly recognizes that health is essential to the daily lives of human beings. Second it underscores the fact that good health improves learning employee productivity and incomes. Third the book demonstrates the ways in which an understanding of the preceding two points contributes to our grasp of economic growth and development. Because Asia is now the fastest-growing and most dynamic continent in the world the respective chapters provide practical guidance concerning two key questions: First how do we effectively address the health challenges in individual regions of Asia? Second how do we ensure that the proposed health interventions lead to sustainable economic growth and development? To this end the book emphasizes modeling and illustrates the role that sound empirical modeling can play in developing measures that sustainably address the health challenges confronting disparate Asian regions. All chapters were written by international experts who are active researchers in their respective fields. Hence this book is highly recommended to all readers seeking an in-depth and up-to-date perspective on some of the most important issues at the interface of human health and regional growth and development in Asia.
