Public Health and National Reconstruction in Post-War Asia: International Influences, Local Transformations - Routledge Studies in the Modern History of Asia
Liping Bu
This book, based on extensive original research, considers the transformation of public health systems in major East, South and Southeast Asian countries in the period following the Second World War. It examines how public health concepts, policies, institutions and practices were improved, shows how international health standards were implemented, sometimes through the direct intervention of transnational organisations, and explores how indigenous traditions and local social and cultural concerns affected developments, with, in some cases, the construction of public health systems forming an important part of nation-building in post-war and post-independence countries. Throughout, the book relates developments in public health systems to people?s health, demographic changes, and economic and social reconstruction projects.
