Health Policy in a Time of Crisis is a vivid ethnographic account
of women and providers navigating the Catalan health system to
obtain and provide publicly funded abortion care. Grounded in
critical medical anthropology, the book situates access to publicly
funded abortion care in the context of austerity and ongoing
threats to recently liberalized laws, examining the actual levels
of access in the region. In so doing, it examines the disparities
experienced by immigrant and other women, documenting the diverse
approaches adopted to overcome obstacles to care. Using accounts
from both providers and women seeking care, Ostrach's richly
grounded analysis illuminates a healthcare system during a period
of economic crisis and disagreement over reproductive governance.
Researched against a backdrop of growing movements against
austerity and for Catalan independence, the result is at once a
study of true access to public health care in times of crisis and a
compelling account of some women's determination to go to any
length to get the health care they need. Engagingly written, it
will make interesting reading for scholars and students of
anthropology and public health, as well as policymakers and the
general reader concerned with the politics of abortion and public
health.
