World Health Systems details different health systems, including their
related health insurance and drug supply systems, in various parts of
the world with both macro- and micro- perspectives. The book is arranged
in five parts: the first part presents, from multidisciplinary
perspectives, outlines of various health systems throughout the world,
as well as current trends in the development and reform of world health
systems. The second and third parts expound on the health systems in
developed countries, discussing the government's role in the health
service market and basic policies on medication administration and
expenses, before analyzing the health systems of Britain, Canada,
Australia, Sweden, Germany, France, Japan, Poland, USA, Singapore,
Hongkong (China), and Taiwan (China).
The fourth and fifth parts discuss health systems in less developed
countries and areas, typically the BRICS and other countries in Asia
(Thailand, Vietnam, the Philippines, Armenia, and Kyrghyzstan), Africa
