Doctor in the World

About this book

Doctor in the World opens with personal experiences of the socialist NHS in England and Wales; in developing countries in Central America, Africa and East Asia; Medicare insurance schemes in Canada and Australia; then back to the NHS in its hybrid public/private and internal market form. It is an anecdotal record of medical care in many different places around the world. A country's government has an impact on the health of its people and so geopolitical backgrounds that affect medical services have been included. Finally, the results of WHO and OECD surveys from many countries are compared against the background of phenomenal advances in modern medicine. The stories of world health will interest anyone involved in medical care, anywhere in the world.
