CURRENT PUBLIC HEALTH ISSUES IN MALAYSIA & INDONESIA: INTERDICIPLINARY APPROACHES  

Public Health in Southeast Asia is undergoing profound transformation amid globalization, demographic transitions, and environmental change. Current Public Health Issues in Malaysia & Indonesia: Interdisciplinary Approaches provides a rigorous and evidence-based examination of the evolving health challenges confronting these two rapidly developing nations.

Special emphasis is placed on intersectoral collaboration, policy innovation, and community-based approaches as critical strategies for achieving sustainable health improvements. The comparative focus on Malaysia and Indonesia highlights both the shared regional challenges and the diverse policy responses that have emerged within distinct socio-political contexts.

It challenges readers to think beyond disciplinary silos and to envision health not merely as the absence of disease, but as a shared societal goal that requires cooperation among governments, researchers, and communities alike. Thus, this book is ideal for students, policymakers, practitioners, and anyone interested in understanding how interdisciplinary approaches can create a healthier future for Southeast Asia.
