"health targets" - a framework for government policies designed to
enhance the health of citizens. Health targets have since developed
as major instruments of public policy in Europe.

Written by experts in the field the chapters include overviews of the history of health trageting in Europe, the philosophical and moral implications of health targeting, range of values and beliefs that underpin it and the visions for the future of health governance in Europe.
