The book analyses how policies to prevent diseases are related to
policies aiming to cure illnesses. It does this by conducting a
comparative historical analysis of Australia, Germany, Switzerland,
the UK, and the US. It also demonstrates how the politicization of
the medical profession contributes to the success of preventative
health policy. The book argues that two factors lead to a close
relationship of curative and preventative elements in health
policies and institutions: a strong national government that
possesses a wide range of control over subnational levels of
government, and whether professional organizations (especially the
medical profession) perceive preventative and non-medical health
policy as important and campaign for it politically. The book
provides a historical and comparative narrative to substantiate
this claim empirically.
