***!!! Despite two decades of natural disasters, political upheaval, and economic decline, Nicaragua has maintained a system of health care that responds to the needs of most of its people. This 296 page 1992 hardcover book accurately describes the twists and turns in Nicaragua's health policy during the last two decades. The authors have taken part in that system for twelve years, and bring a wealth of data and experience to this unique survey. They draw on detailed comparisons with other countries to examine attempts to promote community participation, harness international assistance, manage the private sector, and develop public services under changing political regime. No other book depicts a developing country's health system with as much analytical detail or with as extensive documentation. Yet this work simultaneously remains an account of the patients, community organizers, health workers, and political leaders. It is a thought-provoking case study of people, programs, and policies in international health. Topics covered include: From chaos to crisis: Prior to 1979 A health service for all: 1979-1983 Community participation Mass mobilizations The war on health From expansion to crisis management: 1984-1990 Women's health Child survival Health professionals Medicines and medical equipment Stretching the shrinking cordoba Health in a survival economy After the Sandinistas The Nicaraguan health model Publisher's list price for this book is $41.95. Condition: Good, with minor wear. Bumped spine and a scratch on the front board. Dust jacket has some scuff marks, light soiling and crimping along the edges.
