Description

A long-overdue historical account of Maoist public health initiatives, detailing the ways they were experienced and their global impact. The People's Health is the first systematic study of health care and medicine in Maoist China. Opening a unique window into the lives – and health care – of individuals living under communism, Zhou Xun examines the links between local interest, cultural sensibilities, resources, and abilities, exploring the often unforeseeable consequences of political planning and social engineering.
