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.
