Since the 1990s, the Hong Kong public health sector has been under constant review. There has been increasing emphasis on the need for major changes in its structure and funding, and traditional Chinese medicine has received formal recognition. This book covers the period from British colonization of Hong Kong in 1841 through to the present day. It looks at the way in which the health sector developed, the structural arrangements that resulted, and the manner in which the health system functions today. With the system's colonial origins, and the presence of complementary therapies, the book makes an interesting case study for anyone working in public health.

"Dr. Gauld's collection of case studies is informativeand accessible. I would recommend it as acentral text for a course in comparative healthsystems." Political Studies Review Based upon research from eight countries in the Asia-Pacific - Australia, China, Hong Kong, Japan, New Zealand, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan - this book analyses and compares their differing health policies. Key issues the book probes include: *The ways that health care is financed and delivered across the region *The historical and institutional arrangements that impact upon health policy and health care *How the health systems differ between the countries under study *How policymakers and service providers deal with unlimited demand and limited funding and issues such as service coverage and quality *How pharmaceuticals and population health strategies are managed *What the roles of the state and various other players (such as the private sector and professional associations) are in the making of health policy and delivery of health care *The challenges that lie ahead for health care and health policy in the region Comparative Health Policy in the Asia-Pacific is key reading for students, researchers and policy makers with an interest in health policy. It is relevant to those studying medicine and health studies, anthropology, history, sociology, public policy, politics and Asian studies.
