Synopsis

This is Volume II of the comprehensive review of national health systems of the world presented in Volume I. In that volume, the author analysed the organization, financing, management, and delivery of health services in 68 countries at diverse levels of economic development and political ideology.

Revue de presse

This publication will provide a valuable reference to anyone interested in cross-national comparisons in health care activities. (Biological Abstracts/RRM (Reports, Reviews, Meetings) Volume 45 Issue 3 (Cover date: August 8, 1993))

provides an encyclopedic overview of the main issues confronted by national health systems around the world ... The book's strength arises from its descriptive presentation of "facts and ideas," ... represents a formidable accomplishment ... Roemer has labored long in the field of health systems research around the world and deserves a note of thanks for this achievement (Michael R. Reich, American Journal of Preventive Medicine, volume 10, number 2)
