Summary: "This book tries to locate the implications of the fast transforming health sector within the larger context of economic growth without resource redistribution; where health services become a commodity and access to services for the majority of the working people becomes costlier and more difficult. To mark the journey of ideas and concepts in public health, it focuses on the concept of Universal Health Care (UHC), which is now being offered as the panacea for the crisis in public health and is often presented public as something new and innovative, a project uncluttered by externalities and non-medical issues. The authors unravel the history of the concept of UHC and the contradictions and dilemma in it simplementation through shifting trajectories of policies in India."--
