Problem
Political Economies and Health Systems
Read the case studies on China, Chile, and Kerala in your Introducing Global Health text.
In each country, social policies have been dramatically shaped by the political economy. This reshaping has resulted in vastly different health care systems.
Compare how the political economy of Cuba shapes its health care system with one of the countries in the case study. Consider one of the following areas to examine:
i. Delivery.
ii. Quality.
iii. Affordability.
iv. Accessibility.
Which country is more effective in its quest to address this area? What criteria did you use to make your evaluation? Support your position with qualitative or quantitative date.
