Who Cares? by Anthony C Gatrell
There are massive disparities, globally, nationally and regionally, in the provision of healthcare services and access to them. This textbook from one of the foremost geographers of health examines the unequal production and consumption of healthcare and seeks explanations for such diverse distribution, in particular, asking why place is such a key determinant for access to healthcare services. The analysis includes international comparisons of expenditure and performance as well as national case studies. The geographies of supply of both services and workforce are interrogated to reveal alarming inequalities. The book offers students a critical analysis of the governance of healthcare and is suitable for courses on the geography of health, as well as wider medical humanities, social policy and development studies courses.
