Synopsis

This book reports the activities of the Rockefeller Foundation, a charitable organization founded by John D. Rockefeller, Sr., for the well-being of mankind. Established in 1913, the foundation's efforts to further public health, medical training and access to healthcare are detailed within. The text illustrates successes and pitfalls in approaching public health in distinct cultural and political contexts. The report delves into disease eradication (hookworm and malaria) and the initiation of various programs including relief for victims of World War I and the establishment of a school of hygiene and public health at Johns Hopkins University. Its account of the challenges of getting public health right, and its successes in doing so, provide valuable lessons in the history of global health.
