Health Care

Chapter 4 in Welfare Capitalism in East Asia, 2003, pp 70-98 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Health care systems in the East Asian tigers combine distinct regulatory mechanisms, delivery arrangements and funding regimes to generate mainly excellent health outcomes. In all four tigers, the public and private sectors both play key health care roles, though they differ from one society to another. Equally, in all of the tigers a dominant modern scientific medical system is paralleled, in various ways, by vibrant traditions of indigenous medical practice that continue to be used by large numbers of people. Tiger health care is therefore complex, requiring detailed societal analysis and, within each society, examination of both modern and traditional practices.
