Inhaltsangabe

This book reveals that healthcare systems are not just service providers. They are structures of power.
It offers a groundbreaking analysis of how global health is organized, controlled, and contested. It moves beyond traditional comparisons of hospitals, insurance, and outcomes to examine the underlying architecture that determines:

  • Who controls pharmaceutical innovation
  • Who produces life-saving medicines
  • Who sets global health standards
  • And who remains dependent during crises
Through a structured comparative framework, the book explores:
  • Western health systems and their institutional dominance
  • China’s state-driven model of health power
  • India’s rise as a global pharmaceutical and digital health force
  • The Middle East’s resource-driven but externally dependent systems
  • Africa’s externally supported health structures
  • Southeast Asia’s adaptive and increasingly coherent systems
A dedicated case study on COVID-19 exposes how these systems perform under pressure—revealing that resilience depends not only on resources, but on structural control.
The book concludes by examining the future of global health, asking whether the world is moving toward convergence, fragmentation, or a new multipolar order.
This work is essential reading for:
  • Health policy professionals
  • Global health researchers
  • Government and development leaders
  • Students of international systems
  • And anyone seeking to understand how power operates in modern healthcare
This is not a book about healthcare systems.
It is a book about who controls them.
