Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
This book grew from the authors teaching and research interests in health and health care. These have been particularly concerned with spatial aspects of health and development and the availability and use of health services. The author has researched health and health-service related issues in many developing countries in Asia, Africa and the Caribbean over the past decade or more, and has been able to relate such research - academic and applied - to his teaching responsibilities.
