Global Health in Fragments

Over the past thirty years, an ever-expanding community of global health actors have been intervening in the poorest parts of the world, aiming to combat disease and improving health outcomes. Providing an innovative and nuanced analysis of global health, the book will be important for researchers of global health and African studies.

James Wintrup is a social anthropologist and a senior researcher at the Chr. Michelsen Institute (CMI), Norway.
