Synopsis
Over the past thirty years, an ever-expanding community of global health actors have been intervening in the poorest parts of the world with the aim of combatting disease and improving health outcomes. Whilst many global health programmes in the Global South have been successful in saving lives, their successes have often been compromised by poor coordination, inefficiency, and a lack of alignment with national priorities.
This book outlines the deep historical and political dimensions of this fragmentation, using rural Zambia as a case study. In the name of global health, different actors produce and circulate radically different stories about how to improve health. These narratives do not only contribute to a fragmented landscape of health provision but also create more subtle and pervasive forms of fragmentation in the everyday lives of health workers, patients, and government officials. Based on long-term ethnographic fieldwork in rural Zambia, this book examines three different global health interventions driven by differing stories of salvation, community, and experimentation. Tracing the longer history of these stories, the book shows how they have failed to account for the realities of life in rural Zambia.
Providing an innovative and nuanced analysis of global health that challenges ideas of fragmentation as simply a technical problem, this book will be an important read for researchers of global health and African studies.
