SUMMARY

"This work resulted from a conference held in 2003 that was jointly sponsored by the Rockefeller Archive Center and Quinnipiac University. Drawing upon perspectives from history, philosophy, and the social sciences, as well as public health and medicine, the authors in this volume examine and critique the role of foundations, most prominently the Rockefeller Foundation, in promoting and expanding the development of Western medicine around the world during the twentieth century. By considering issues of public health and health policy from a wide range of perspectives, this book seeks to contribute both to our understanding of the past successes and failures of growing dominance of Westernized medicine over global health, and consider present and future possibilities for improving the delivery of health services to the population of the world."--BOOK JACKET.Page, Benjamin B. is the author of 'Philanthropic Foundations and the Globalization of Scientific Medicine and Public Health ', published 2007 under ISBN 9780761838197 and ISBN 0761838198.
