First published in 1994, this book raises questions that are more important today than ever before. Why, despite the large sums of money spent by the international community on development in Afghanistan, have conflict, political infighting, and disorder only increased? How does the struggle of the Afghan people affect the rest of the world? How can other countries best work to promote health, peace, and stability in Afghanistan? Health Care in Muslim Asia argues that development is the key to addressing these critical issues. Development is not only essential for improving health; it is the most effective option for achieving peace and long-term stability in Afghanistan.Table of Contents Illustrations Tables Acronyms Preface Acknowledgemants Introduction Chapter 1: From Working Alone to Working Together Chapter 2: Cross-border Project Design and Its Context Chapter 3: Training and Manpower Development Chapter 4: Organizatioon of Health Services in Afghanistan Chapter 5: Planning for Sustainability and Health Impact Chapter 6: Immunization and the Emergence of Preventive Medicine Chapter 7: The Development of a Health Program for Women Chapter 8: Logistics Management Chapter 9: Financial Operations and Management Chapter 10: Managing Health Information Appendix A: Diversity and Complexity of Afghan Society Appendix B: Salary Scale Glossary Bibliography Index Biographical Sketches of Contributing Authors About Management Sciences for HealthBack to Top Additional Resources Managing Health Systems in Developing Areas |
