Synopsis:

This comparative text, aimed at both students and practitioners, assesses in relation to a set of key themes and issues the extent to which problems facing healthcare systems have common causes or spring from specific national circumstances. It analyses what lessons can be learned about public/private mixes, policy and funding frameworks, professional organizations, and acute and preventive services in a wide range of health systems - systematically comparing Australia, France, Germany, Japan, Italy, New Zealand, the Netherlands, Sweden, Singapore, the UK and the US, but ranging more widely as appropriate.
