Commercialization of health care: global and local dynamics and policy responses

Based on original research and analysis by a group of health policy experts and economists from across the world, this book analyzes the causes and consequences of the expanding global and local commercialization of health care.

It argues for the necessity and possibility of effective policy responses to develop good quality, universally inclusive health systems worldwide.

The book aims to contribute to a shift in the international 'common sense' in health policy towards a more humane, inclusive, egalitarian, and ethical framework for policy formulation.
