Health Problems In The Arctic

Description: 

Many of the problems of Arctic health lie in the field of social and preventive medicine. The specific diseases encountered in the Arctic are not peculiar to that region but rather their incidence, severity, and means of prevention and treatment may be greatly modified, not so much by the climate itself as by the social circumstances in which they occur. Read at the annual meeting of the Canadian Med Ass'n in Banff, Alta, June 16, 1960. Bibliography.
