This book argues that these policies have often failed to achieve their main aims, and have in fact contributed to restricted access to family medicine and hospital care. Presenting detailed evidence, and illustrated by case studies, this book describes how international health policies to date have largely resulted in expensive health care for the rich, and disjointed and ineffective services for the poor. As a result, large segments of the population world-wide continue to suffer from unnecessary casualties, pain and impoverishment. International Health and Aid Policies arms health professionals, researchers and policy makers with strategies that will enable them to bridge the gaps between public health, medicine and health policy in order to support robust, comprehensive and accessible health care systems in any political environment. 517 3 $aInternational Health & Aid Policies 606 $aPublic health$xInternational cooperation 606 $aWorld health 606 $aPoor$xMedical care 606 $aMedically underserved areas 606 $aMedical care$zDeveloping countries 615 0$aPublic health$xInternational cooperation. 615 0$aWorld health. 615 0$aPoor$xMedical care. 615 0$aMedically underserved areas. 615 0$aMedical care 676 $a362.1 700 $aUnger$b Jean-Pierre$f1954-$01035699 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910459556303321 996 $aInternational health and aid policies$92455537 997 $aUNINA
