書籍簡介

Healthcare > Administration and Policy

This book makes a significant contribution to the discussions about the future of Hong Kong’s health system. The evidence-driven content draws from the deep expertise and experiences of a wide spectrum of contributors, whose multidisciplinary input, based on moral philosophy, political economy, macro-financing, health services research, business strategy, and patients’ experience, reveals areas that require urgent attention and focuses on the issues that matter most if Hong Kong is to achieve better population health through the system. The book meets the critical need of students, academics, health care professionals, government officials, politicians, and the general public who have been struggling with how best to approach and understand the context and the need for change.
