Universal Health Coverage
Policy Press (Verlag)
978-1-4473-7184-7 (ISBN)
UHC aims to improve access to essential health services, provide financial protection and overcome health care inequities.
Drawing on rich first-hand data, including expert interviews and archival research, this book adopts a historical–sociological methodology to analyse some of UHC’s key political dynamics: consensus, conflicts, negotiations and struggles. It reveals that UHC is the result of a unique conjoining of movements in health, debates on human rights and concerns with development in a particular world context across the Global North and Global South.
Tuba I Agartan is Professor of Health Sciences at Providence College, US. Her research interests are at the interface of public policy and sociology, with a focus on comparative health policy, development studies and global health.
