This work examines health, defined in its broadest meaning, in
rural China today. It explores the current social distribution of
health status, health behaviour and health care and the processes
by which these came about. By exploring universal questions in the
social, historical and political context of rural China, the
authors advance our understanding of the social processes which
shape the social distribution of health and health care, and draw
policy implications for both post-industrial and developing
societies. Using rural China as a case study, three main issues are
addressed: The role of ideology, politics and economic processes in
shaping access to health and health care for the rural population;
The behaviour patterns of lay persons and health professionals and
the degree to which they are influenced by specific social context;
Patterns of health inequalities and the distribution of health
services. The book will be a useful reference for students,
researchers and policy makers with an interest in health care in
developing as well as post-industrial societies.
