Publisher's Synopsis
This book looks at how European countries differ in the way their respective health care systems are structured, organised and financed, and how they all share a common goal to re-address the primary of the hospital by tipping the balance towards primary health care. This is being undertaken through a series of initiatives designed to reemphasise the pivotal role of primary health care in the health care system. It is the detailed analysis of these various initiatives or case studies which give the book its distinctiveness.
