The two volumes of this edition of Health in the Americas deal mainly with the period between 1993 and 1996.Volume I presents an overview, from PAHO’s perspective, of the most relevant aspects of the health situation of the Region’s population and analyzes the trends of that situation and the relationship between health and living conditions. It also examines the leading problems that affect special population groups and the manifestations and distribution of diseases and other health impairments. In addition, Volume I looks at the response of health services systems, with special attention to health sector reform and activities in health promotion and environmental protection. The final chapter reviews the trends and characteristics of regional financial assistance and new modalities of technical cooperation among countries. Volume II contains current information on the health situation and trends in each member country and territory of the Organization.en_US
