Produktbeschreibung

Based on Pino Schirripa's fieldwork, Competing Orders of Medical Care in Ethiopia traces the development of pharmaceutical products and medical remedies in the health sector. Schirripa analyzes the production and distribution of medications and examines how local politics, financial resources, social relations, and neoliberal beliefs can make some treatments more widespread and accepted than others. Schirripa's observations of Ethiopian healing systems and social relations provide new insight into the complex process of prescription.
