Okma and Luca Crivelli.This book presents the healthcare reform experiences of six small- to mid-sized, but dynamic, economies spanning the Asia-Pacific, the Middle East and Europe. Usually not given serious consideration in major international comparisons because of their small size, each in fact provides a fascinating case study that illuminates the understanding of the dynamics of healthcare reform. Although dissimilar in historical and cultural backgrounds, they share some important features: all faced very similar pressures for change in the 1970's and 1980's; all considered a very similar range of policy optionHealth care reformElectronic books.Health care reform.362.1/0425Okma Kieke G.
