De laatste jaren zien we een toenemende belangstelling voor de sociale geneeskunde en de public health. Public health en sociale geneeskunde zijn overlappende termen. De sociaal-geneeskundige houdt zich bezig met de gezondheidskundige aspecten van de wisselwerking tussen mens, maatschappij en milieu. De tak van de sociale geneeskunde die zich vooral bezighoudt met de arbeidsgerelateerde problematiek noemt men "occupational medicine"(arbeid en gezondheid). Bij public health gaat het om gezondheidsdoelstellingen die op de populatie gericht zijn. In de public health is de preventie van ongezondheid één van de belangrijkste aandachtsgebieden.Sociaal-geneeskundigen zijn werkzaam op vele terreinen, zoals preventie, advisering, beleid, arbeid en gezondheid. Hoewel ongeveer 30% van alle artsen in ons land werkzaam is in de sociale geneeskunde of de public health, als arbo-arts, GGD-arts, jeugdarts enz., zijn de uitgangspunten voor sociaal-geneeskundige werkzaamheden relatief onbekend.In de opleiding leert men nog steeds te weinig over omgevingsgerelateerde oorzaken van ziekte en ook over het omgaan met ziekten in het dagelijks leven. De invloed van arbeid, milieu, leefstijl en preventie op de gezondheid en het wel of niet ontstaan van ziekte zijn in de artsenopleiding onderbelicht. Om deze reden hebben de auteurs Post en Groothoff besloten een boekje te schrijven over wat de sociale geneeskunde inhoudt. Sociale geneeskunde of public health wil inzicht geven in het brede terrein van de sociale geneeskunde, de public health-kant ervan en de ontwikkelingen op het terrein van "arbeid en gezondheid". Het probeert een brug te slaan tussen artsen die in de curatieve sfeer werkzaam zijn en sociaal-geneeskundigen.

Challenging traditional approaches to medical history, 'Disease in the History of Modern Latin America' advances understandings of disease as a social and cultural construction in Latin America. This innovative collection provides a vivid look at the latest research in the cultural history of medicine through insightful essays about how disease—whether it be cholera or aids, leprosy or mental illness—was experienced and managed in different Latin American countries and regions, at different times from the late nineteenth century to the present. Based on the idea that the meanings of sickness—and health—are contestable and subject to controversy, Disease in the History of Modern Latin America displays the richness of an interdisciplinary approach to social and cultural history. Examining diseases in Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, Peru, and Bolivia, the contributors explore the production of scientific knowledge, literary metaphors for illness, domestic public health efforts, and initiatives shaped by the agendas of international agencies. They also analyze the connections between ideas of sexuality, disease, nation, and modernity; the instrumental role of certain illnesses in state-building processes; welfare efforts sponsored by the state and led by the medical professions; and the boundaries between individual and state responsibilities regarding sickness and health. Diego Armus’s introduction contextualizes the essays within the history of medicine, the history of public health, and the sociocultural history of disease.
