It is rich in concepts that can facilitate a fuller understanding of what health systems are. João Costa applies these concepts and shows the analytical possibilities they open up. He argues concisely how Luhmann's Social Systems Theory offers an integrated theoretical body as well as a consistent articulation of concepts that can lay the groundwork for a vastly improved health systems thinking.Gesundheit, Kommunikation und GesellschaftHealth As a Social SystemSocial servicePublic healthHealth Systems Strengthening.Health Systems Thinking.Introduction.Medicine.Niklas Luhmann.Public Health.Social Relations.Social Systems.Sociological Theory.Sociology of Medicine.Systems Theory.Social service.Public health.362.1Costa João591888BMBF Fördervorhaben 16TOA002fndhttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/fndMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910642293303321Health as a Social System3057622UNINA
