Professor Niyi Awofeso's second book, titled "What's new about the New Public Health?" was published by Lambert Academic Publishers in January 2010.
In the book, Niyi traces the history of public health from its origins, when it was integral to societies' social structures, through the Sanitary Movement and Contagion eras, when it evolved as a separate discipline, to the "New Public Health" era, when Population Health and revised Primary Health Care concepts achieved prominence. He examines seven previous public health eras in relation to their dominant paradigms, action frameworks and legacies. The emerging era of Population Health-New Primary Health Care is also analysed in terms of its distinctive conceptual framework and potential for achieving a core objective of Public Health: Social Justice.
The book is available via Amazon.com, and from ‘Books on Demand': https://www.bod.de/index.php?id=296&objk_id=315508
