The new and updated 2023 edition repeats the core message of David Sanders' 1986 original book: The struggle for health is the struggle for social justice!
Child mortality is decreasing but millions of preventable deaths still occur in children under 5. Moreover, equity remains an important concern.
That's why the #struggleforhealth remains relevant.

David Sanders taught me & so many others so much. If we sadly no longer have him in person, we still have his work to inspire us to question the solution.
🙏🏽 @wimdeceuk and Barbara for this precious gift @PHMglobal.
🙏🏽 @DrMaryTBassett & @TheLancet for this insightful review.
"Sanders is now gone. But in this book, and in the work of @PHMglobal , can be found the critical analyses, courage, and facts needed to stand up and speak truth to power." @DrMaryTBassett reviews #TheStruggleForHealth in @TheLancet https://t.co/eY8XLj2VSy

History shows that child mortality can drop very fast. Unfortunately it remains far too high in many countries. The #StruggleForHealth explains how we can ensure every child enjoys the right to health. https://t.co/cDKghBXAJG https://t.co/LQBkGuf574
