How insecticide-treated bed nets became a staple of global public health initiatives and reshaped health practices in Africa and beyond. Distributed to millions of people annually across Africa and the global south, insecticide-treated bed nets have become a cornerstone of malaria control and twenty-first-century global health initiatives. Despite their seemingly obvious public health utility, however, these chemically infused nets and their rise to prominence were anything but inevitable. In Nothing But Nets, Kirsten Moore-Sheeley untangles the complicated history of insecticide-treated nets as it unfolded transnationally and in Kenya specifically--a key site of insecticide-treated net research--to reveal how the development of this intervention was deeply enmeshed with the emergence of the contemporary global health enterprise. While public health workers initially conceived of nets as a stopgap measure that could be tailored to impoverished, rural health systems in the early 1980s, nets became standardized market goods with the potential to save lives and promote economic development globally. This shift attracted donor resources for malaria control amid the rise of neoliberal regimes in international development, but it also perpetuated a paradigm of fighting malaria and poverty at the level of individual consumers. Africans' experiences with insecticide-treated nets illustrate the limitations of this paradigm and provide a warning for the precariousness of malaria control efforts today. Drawing on archival, published, and oral historical evidence from three continents, Moore-Sheeley reveals the important role Africans have played in shaping global health science and technology. In placing both insecticide-treated nets and Africa at the center of global health history, this book sheds new light on how and why commodity-based health interventions have become so entrenched as solutions to global disease control as well as the challenges these interventions pose for at-risk populations.

Het boek Positieve gezondheid geeft aan hoe er in de gehele levensloop kansen zijn om gezondheid te bevorderen, hoe ongelijkheid op het gebied van gezondheid voorkomen kan worden en wat dat betekent voor het beleid op scholen, bedrijven en gemeentes.Uitgebreide beschrijvingOnze kijk op gezondheid bepaalt hoe we de gezondheidszorg inrichten. Gezondheid, in de ogen van Walburg, is een dynamisch vermogen dat nodig is voor bloei en ontwikkeling en om verstoringen zoals ziekte te voorkomen. Dat vermogen kunnen we inzetten om te oreren, maar we kunnen het ook uitputten. Het behoud van gezondheid vergt net zo'n duurzame instelling als het behoud van de aarde. Iedereen is verantwoordelijk voor de eigen gezondheid. En die is te belangrijk om over te laten aan de gezondheidszorg die volledig is ingericht op herstel bij ziekte.Het boek Positieve gezondheid geeft aan hoe er in de gehele levensloop kansen zijn om gezondheid te bevorderen, hoe ongelijkheid op het gebied van gezondheid voorkomen kan worden en wat dat betekent voor het beleid op scholen, bedrijven en gemeentes. Positieve gezondheid is daarmee een boek voor iedereen die betrokken is bij de eigen gezondheid en bij de condities waaronder mensen gezond blijven en tot bloei komen.

The book explores approaches, methods and best practices related to health promotion in urban areas. Thanks to the increasingly tight connection among urbanism, architecture, bioethics, anthropology, sociology and medicine, we are now reaching an “ecological” health perspective. This new viewpoint has pushed the study of social health determinants and their unequal distribution in the population, resulting in the study of the generation of structurally-determined differences in health and healthcare. There is the need to make use of a unitary framework in order to understand the intertwining of multidimensional dynamics that define the urban context and the need to disseminate, enhance, and improve existing interventions in the field. This volume consequently results in the discussion and comparison of contents and methods to be implemented in multidisciplinary interventions related to the promotion of community-based healthcare and health in the urban setting. The book represents a useful opportunity for scientific growth and international sharing of methodologies that can help develop a common language and approach to be shared across different academic spheres. This is not only an exchange of knowledge among different fields of study, but also the creation of foundations for creating an increasingly complex network of scientific culture and operational collaborations to transfer knowledge and attract academic and public attention, influencing decision-makers and gaining advocacy accordingly.
