Health and Medicine, an easy guide to infectious diseases, chronic conditions, and health policy
We cover health-related issues in an easy, case-based way, from outbreaks and responses to infectious diseases, chronic disease management, and food and drug safety, to health insurance and public health policy. We look at infectious disease surveillance such as Ebola and foodborne illness, conditions worth understanding like chronic kidney disease, food labeling standards such as decaf coffee, and how institutional changes like health insurance reimbursement reform affect everyday health.
