The Work of Hospitals
Global Medicine in Local Cultures
Rutgers University Press
The Work of Hospitals, a volume on hospitals as clinical and social institutions, foregrounds the tensions inherent in efforts to sustain functional health services in resource-poor states. Global ethnographic research shows how clinicians and patients struggle, without adequate supplies and personnel, in times of financial austerity. The chapters document a vast gulf worldwide between the idealized mission of the hospital and the implementation of this mission in everyday practice.
