520    "World Health Systems Challenges and Perspectives, Second 
       Edition, focuses on the realities of 26 health systems 
       around the world. The majority of chapters are written by 
       a representative of each country, who gives readers a 
       first-hand glimpse at the country's health system and the 
       health status. Six introductory chapters provide a 
       framework to help you understand key concepts applicable 
       to all health systems. New introductory chapters focus on 
       defining a health system, health system strengthening, 
       health system regulation, and the politics of health 
       system reform. With discussions of infrastructures as 
       diverse as those found in Japan, Brazil, and Kenya, the 
       authors profile each country's health system organization,
       current and emerging health policy issues, cost and 
       financing of healthcare, health resources and delivery, 
       and future health outlook."--Back cover.
