Overview

In an era defined by pandemics, climate change, and unprecedented global interconnectedness, the United States has unveiled its ""Health on the Brink,"" a bold pivot toward nationalist health policy. But what does this mean for the world-and for America itself?America First, Health Last? examines the far-reaching implications of prioritizing domestic interests over global collaboration. Drawing on historical case studies, including smallpox eradication, HIV/AIDS programs, Ebola outbreaks, and the COVID-19 pandemic, this book reveals a simple truth: no nation can fully protect itself in isolation.

It also offers a roadmap for balancing national interests with international responsibility, showing how strategic collaboration, ethical leadership, and flexible preparedness can safeguard both domestic populations and the global community. For policymakers, public health professionals, students, and concerned citizens, America First, Health Last? is a timely, thought-provoking guide to understanding the stakes of global health in a nationalist age. It challenges readers to consider not just what it means to be safe at home, but what it takes to protect humanity worldwide.
