In 2001, Thailand introduced universal health care reforms that
have become some of the most celebrated in the world, providing
almost its entire population with health protection coverage.
However, this remarkable implementation of health policy is not
without its weaknesses. Drawing on two years of fieldwork at a
district hospital in northern Thailand, Bo Kyeong Seo examines how
people in marginal and dependent social positions negotiate the
process of obtaining care. Using the broader concept of
elicitation, Seo analyzes the social encounters and forces that
shape caregivers. These dynamics challenge dichotomies of
subjugation and resistance, consent and coercion, and dependence
and autonomy. The intimate and moving stories at the core of
Eliciting Care from patients and providers draw attention to a
broader, critically important phenomenon at the hospital level.
Seo's poignant ethnography engages with feminist theory on the
ethics of care, and in so doing, makes a significant contribution
to emerging work in the field of health policy and politics.
