Health Care Systems in Developing Countries in Asia

For the last two decades, major Asian economies have successfully kept their economic growth momentum going. However, academic study of the development of health care in developing countries has been for the most part neglected by the literature. Using in-depth case studies, this book proposes a new stance on health policy and health care policy paradigm, as well as illness, accidents, misery and poverty, based on the normative theory of Developmental Social Policy (DSP). This book will therefore serve as a valuable reference volume for health and social policy players, economists, health sociologists, social workers, and government administrators.
