In Africa, both fields have increasingly become subject to monetization and commodification, in short, the market. Based on extensive fieldwork in nine African countries by scholars with diverse academic backgrounds, this volume offers different perspectives on the emerging markets and the way medical staff, patients, households and institutions navigate them in their quest for well-being. By presenting a detailed economic ethnography of this multifacetted process of navigating the market, the book sets a new agenda for research as a result of the current predicaments facing health and healing in African societies. 410 0$aAfrican dynamics ;$v9. 606 $aMedical economics$zAfrica 606 $aMedical care$xMarketing$zAfrica 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aMedical economics 615 0$aMedical care$xMarketing 676 $a338.4/73621096 676 $a338.473621096 701 $aDekker$b M$0864321 701 $aDijk$b Rijk van$f1959-$0864322 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910461519203321 996 $aMarkets of well-being$91929272 997 $aUNINA
