Tuberculosis Control & Institutional Change (HB)
Synopsis:This is the first book-length monograph on tuberculosis (TB) in China. Core examines the impact of the socialist work-unit system on TB control from the 1950s to the 1990s. The dismantling of work units during market reforms led to new challenges in TB control, particularly for the migrant worker population. This study has implications for institutional research on disease control and provides valuable lessons for public health specialists and researchers.
