ISBN: 9781137495778 / Angielski / Twarda / 235 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Democratizing Health Care: Welfare State Building in Korea and Thailand

This book explores significant developments of the welfare state in the context of milestone health insurance reforms in two important Asian democracies, Korea and Thailand. The author argues that the changes in health policy, which introduced universal health coverage in Thailand and a single-payer fund in Korea, established greater redistribution in health spending and improved equity in access to health care.
