000344799 520__ $$a"International health and aid policies of the past two decades have had a major impact on the delivery of care in low- and middle-income countries. This book argues that these policies have often failed to achieve their main aims and have, in fact, contributed to restricted access to family medicine and hospital care. Presenting detailed evidence, and illustrated by case studies, this book describes how international health policies to date have largely resulted in expensive health care for the rich and disjointed, and ineffective services for the poor. As a result, large segments of the population worldwide continue to suffer from unnecessary casualties, pain and impoverishment. International Health and Aid Policies arms health professionals, researchers and policy makers with strategies that will enable them to bridge the gaps between public health, medicine and health policy in order to support robust, comprehensive and accessible health care systems in any political environment"--$$cProvided by publisher.
