Health policy in a changing world.

Abstract

Perhaps never has the world changed--politically, economically and socially--as much as it is at present. With this in mind, Dr Beske asks how can adequate healthcare provision be guaranteed world-wide, and how can intensive co-operation to combat the inequity of health care be achieved? It is well known that the level of health care differs greatly throughout the world, but the author draws the conclusion that 'The organization of the health service is one of the tasks of each country. But just as solidarity is demanded on a national level, international solidarity is also required'.
