Barack Obama’s plans for healthcare reform in the US have generated a great deal of controversy, with opponents appalled at what they see as an increasing tax burden and over involvement of the state. In contrast, the UK’s NHS provides a comprehensive state-funded health service for everyone at the point of need. Despite detractors, the UK model is widely admired and vigorously defended even though such a scheme is anathema to the antireformists in the USA. Are these polarised opinions based on misinformation or a genuine philosophical divergence, and how does the rest of the world approach organised healthcare?

Despite having the same aim, the organisation and provision of healthcare varies considerably from country to country. Sometimes centralised, sometimes distributed regionally, there are wide variations in the level, funding and scope of health provision.

For international industry managers, appreciating the structure and complexity of health organisation is key knowledge, which is why The Executive Guide to Worldwide Healthcare Organisation is an essential business reference for today’s health industry managers and planners. In 200 information-packed pages it provides a country-by-country review of health systems around the world and:

• Identifies the role of the state in health provision
• Examines the organisational structures and structure combinations used - central funding, national health systems or social insurance
• Considers the role played by public/private facilities
• Assesses the complexities of providing health within a regional/federal structure
• Highlights countries with no effective health organisation

Whether it’s a developed and well-established market or a developing country still implementing its model, this invaluable report provides a concise and readable guide to healthcare systems worldwide.
