Reviews
“This handbook brings together examples from a range of countries along with analysis of differing approaches to healthcare policy and governance, illustrated by an array of differing case studies. The effect is to produce a comprehensive and thought-provoking analysis of the policy and social context within which healthcare is situated, that can be related to health systems across the globe. This is a high-quality text.” (Karen Willi, Australian Catholic University, Australia)
“This Handbook arrives at a moment of intense search for ways to improve the performance of health systems worldwide, expressed mainly in the pursuit of universal health coverage. [It] offers a critical, multidisciplinary, and geographically pluralistic perspective on contemporary healthcare policy and governance issues, which will prove invaluable not only to students of the health sciences but also to health policy researchers and decision-makers around the world.” (Dr. Julio Frenk, Dean of the Faculty, Harvard School of Public Health, USA)
“A monumental book covering all areas of health policy, which should be a source of reference for all researchers and policy-makers.” (Naoki Ikegami, Professor and Chair, School of Medicine, Keio University, Japan)
“The globalization of health research has not only laidbare the vast inequities in the health and well being of the world's citizens, it has also given us the opportunity to understand how local, national and international forces interact to create those inequities. In this impressive volume, Kuhlmann and her colleagues have used that opportunity to collect the latest and best comparative research on health policy and governance in a way that is immediately accessible and useful for all who wish to address the harm caused by the unfair distribution of resources that promote health.” (Raymond De Vries, Professor, School of Medicine, University of Michigan, USA)
