商品描述

This Element highlights the pivotal role of corporate players in universal health coverage ideologies and implementation, and critically examines social innovation-driven approaches to expanding primary care in low-income settings. It first traces the evolving meanings of universal health/healthcare in global health politics and policy, analysing their close, often hidden, intertwining with corporate interests and exigencies. It then juxtaposes three social innovations targeting niche 'markets' for lower-cost services in the Majority World, against three present-day examples of publicly financed and delivered primary healthcare (PHC), demonstrating what corporatization does to PHC, within deeply entrenched colonial-capitalist structures and discourses that normalize inferior care, private profit, and dispossession of peoples.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本文強調企業在普及全民健康保險理念和實施中的關鍵角色,並對在低收入地區擴大初級保健的社會創新驅動方法進行了批判性分析。首先,追溯了全球衛生政治和政策中普及全民健康/醫療的演變含義,分析了它們與企業利益和需求的密切且常常隱蔽的交織。然後,將三種針對低成本服務“市場”的社會創新與三個當代公共財政資助和提供的初級保健(PHC)案例進行對比,展示了企業化對PHC的影響,以及深深根植於殖民資本主義結構和論述中對劣質護理、私人利潤和人民剝奪的規範化。
