Editorial Reviews

"This is a book that was developed as a result of an unmet need for an alternative healthcare reform system. It represents the hard work and successful collaboration of noted academicians, institutions, and international groups. This is an important contribution to the existing body of literature on global development in healthcare."—Doody's Health Review
