The Economics of Health Equity, Paperback / softback Book

The Economics of Health Equity Paperback / softback

Edited by Di (University of Cape Town) McIntyre, Gavin (Curtin University of Technology, Perth) Mooney

Paperback / softback

Description

This book is about equity in health and health care.

It explores why, despite being seen as an important goal, health equity has not made more progress within countries and globally, and what needs to change for there to be greater success in delivering fairness.

An international team of eminent experts from primarily the field of health economics describe how equity in health and health care might develop over the next decade.

They examine existing and past barriers to promoting equity, citing case examples, and covering issues including access to health services and inequalities between and within countries.

The analyses are detailed, but the issues are approached in an accessible fashion, highlighting the factors of common international relevance.

This book provides a manifesto for achieving health equity for the future.

It will be essential reading for health and social policy makers, and health academics nationally and internationally.
