Ten years in public health 2007-2017 chronicles the evolution of global public health over the decade that Dr. Margaret Chan has served as Director-General at the World Health Organization.

This series of chapters evaluates successes, setbacks, and enduring challenges during Dr. Chan's administration. They show what needs to be done when progress stalls or new threats emerge. The chapters show how WHO technical leadership can get multiple partners working together in tandem under coherent strategies. The importance of country leadership and community engagement is stressed repeatedly throughout the chapters.

These chapters tell a powerful story of global challenges and how they have been overcome. In a world facing considerable uncertainty, international health development is a unifying – and uplifting – force for the good of humanity.
