This timely book inquires into the foundational principles of a form of public health law that takes seriously the inherent dignity of the human person. Written from a multidisciplinary perspective, this illuminating study makes the case that the rule of law, just as much as population health, is an essential determinant of human well-being.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-justify para-style-body\"><span class=\"OYPEnA text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\">Choosing the case of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People\u2019s Republic of China, where life expectancy is among the highest in the world, yet whose well-established rule of law tradition is oft perceived to be under strain, in describing the central dilemmas of public health law, it makes an original contribution to our knowledge of comparative public health law and public health ethics. Situating Hong Kong\u2019s public health law in the context of global health, <em>The Law and Regulation of Public Health<\/em> should appeal across the world to students and scholars of public health, medical law, public law, comparative law, and international law. It accessibly explains the law to epidemiologists and public health policymakers, and public health to jurists and legal practitioners.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-justify para-style-body\"><span class=\"OYPEnA text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\">This book lucidly urges professionals of public health and law to reflect on how the myriad legal instruments and legal institutions should best be used to promote and protect public health in ways that are at once ethical and lawful. It is a must read for anyone who is interested in gaining insights into public health law and regulation in this highly internationalised Chinese Special Administrative Region.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>To order online, please click\u00a0<span class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\"><a class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\" href=\"https:\/\/www.routledge.com\/The-Law-and-Regulation-of-Public-Health-Global-Perspectives-on-Hong-Kong\/Ip\/p\/book\/9780367491383\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a><\/span> (use promotion code AFLY01 to save 20%)<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-justify para-style-body\"><strong><span class=\"OYPEnA text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\">Author:<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"OYPEnA text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\"> Professor Eric C.
