Contrary to the wide - spread perception that 'spirituality is primarily related to palliative care and has emerged relatively recently within the organisation this study shows that its history is considerably longer and more complex and has been closely connected to the WHO's ethical aspirations its quest for more holistic and equitable healthcare and its struggle with the colonial legacy of international health organisations. While such ideals and struggles silently motivated many of the key actors and policies - such as the provision of universal primary healthcare - which for decades have embodied the organisation's loftiest aspirations the WHO's official relationship with 'spirituality advanced in fits leaps and setbacks. At times creative and interdisciplinary at others deeply political this process was marked by cycles of institutional forgetting and remembering. Rather than as a triumph of religious lobbyists this book argues the 'spiritual dimension of health may be better understood as a 'ghost that has haunted - and continues to haunt - the WHO as it comes to terms with its mandate of advancing health as a state of 'complete well - being available to all.\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: The Spirit Of Global Health The World Health Organization And The Spiritual Dimension Of Health 1946 - 2021\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor(s): Rauch Raphael (Editor In Chief Editor In Chief Kath.
