People's Health - Health Intervention and Delivery in Mao's China, 1949-1983

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.
