      abstract = {The purpose of this book is to project diplomacy as an  unavoidable instrument for monitoring, prevention and  control of health and disaster risks among African  countries. The book advocates health cooperation in Africa  at a time when pandemics are recurrent. Outside of the WHO,  many countries, even within regional groupings have not  actively pursued health cooperation. We intend this book to  provide the basis for advocating the inclusion of health  diplomacy in the curricula of the training of the African  diplomat with the hope to stimulate gradual policy shifts  in foreign ministries, regional groupings, and the African  Union. Humphrey Ngala Ndi is Cultural Counsellor at the  High Commission of Cameroon in London. He is also professor  of health geography at the University of Yaounde I,  Cameroon.
