Chapter 1 -- Inequities and inequalities in access to care. Chapter 2 -- Gender and health. Chapter 3 -- Disability and health. Chapter 4 -- Food security. Chapter 5 -- Water and sanitation. Chapter 6 -- Mining and health. Chapter 7 -- Climate change and health. Chapter 8 -- Ageing and health. Chapter 9 -- Non-communicable diseases. Chapter 10 -- Infectious diseases. Chapter 11 -- Social interventions and health. Chapter 12 -- Environmental intervention and health.

This volume creates a platform to showcase health geography research from countries in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), and draws on theoretical and methodological innovations to initiate a discussion on the complexities of the issues impacting health in the region. Through theoretically and empirically grounded contributions from a variety of researchers working across SSA, the book addresses a wide range of topics that are usually treated separately when discussing health geography in the region. By bridging the social science and health disciplines, the book introduces new ways of thinking temporally and spatially about these topics in non-geography contexts as well. In 4 sections, the text will broadly appeal to students, researchers, teachers, policy makers, and global health professionals. Section 1 addresses the social determinants of health, including gender, disability, and other inequities and inequalities associated with healthcare access. Section 2 discusses the environmental determinants of health such as food security, water and sanitation, mining, and climate change. Section 3 focuses on current and emerging challenges to health in SSA, including ageing, non-communicable disease, and infectious diseases. Section 4 concludes the text by discussing the need to develop social and environmental intervention policies and strategies to address health challenges in SSA.
