DOCTOR IN THE WORLD

DOCTOR IN THE WORLD opens with personal experiences of the socialist NHS in England and Wales in its early years; in developing countries in Central America, Africa and East Asia; Medicare insurance schemes in Canada and Australia; then back to the NHS in the 1990s 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 in response to the phenomenal advances in modern medicine over the last half century.

The stories of world health will interest anyone involved in medical care, anywhere in the world.
