Synopsis
AIDS is unquestionably the most serious threat to public health in this century--yet how effective has the United States been in coping with this deadly disease? This sobering analysis of the first five years of the AIDS epidemic reveals the failure of traditional approaches in recognizing and managing this health emergency; it is an extremely unsettling probe into what makes the nation ill equipped to handle a crisis of the magnitude of the one that now confronts us. Sandra Panem pays particular attention to the Public Health Service, within which the vast majority of biomedical research and public health services are organized, including the Centers for Disease Control and the National Institutes of Health. We learn in dismaying detail how shortcomings in communication within and among the many layers of the health establishment delayed management of the crisis. She also investigates other problems that surface during a health emergency, involving issues such as federal budgeting, partisan politics, bureaucratic bungles, educating the public, the complications of policymaking, and the vexing role of the press. Panem makes specific recommendations for a centrally coordinated federal response to health emergencies, including the creation of a national health emergency plan.

- e***j (2481)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseBig reason I ordered because the seller was in the USA, but after I ordered and the shipping wasn’t updated. They told me it was being shipped from Canada. I asked to cancel but they ignored the request and put a tracking number in that did not work. Finally came 2.5 weeks later. Book was as described
- a***6 (584)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseAs advertised. Promptly shipped
- b***u (189)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseI placed this order by mistake and realized within minutes that the book did not cover the area I needed (Cortina). I contacted the seller less than 3 minutes after purchase to request cancellation. Despite the timing, the seller refused to cancel the order and forced the transaction through. Very poor customer service and unwilling to work with buyers. Would not purchase from this seller again.
