A key volume on a central aspect of the history of medicine and its
social relations, The History of Healthcare in Public and Private
examines how the modernisation of healthcare resulted in a wide
variety of changing social arrangements in both public and private
spheres. This book considers a comprehensive range of topics
ranging from children's health, mental disorders and the influence
of pharmaceutical companies to the systems of twentieth century
healthcare in Britain, Eastern Europe and South Africa. Covering a
broad chronological, thematic and global scope, chapters discuss
key themes such as how changing economies have influenced
configurations of healthcare, how access has varied according to
lifecycle, ethnicity and wealth, and how definitions of public and
private have shifted over time. Containing illustrations and a
general introduction that outlines the key themes discussed in the
volume, The History of Healthcare in Public and Private is
essential reading for any student interested in the history of
medicine.
