Based on extensive research, the contributors to this volume examine health care reform in historical context, analyse the views of key stakeholders and reflect on current proposals for better health financing and more people-centred health systems based on the principles of universality and social solidarity.
Universal Health in Southern Africa is essential reading for academics, health professionals and policy makers concerned with the historical, ideological and institutional background to the current policy debate on the commercialisation of health care and proposed alternatives such as a national health system.
