About In Search of the Perfect Health System
Have you ever imagined what a truly great health system could look like? In Search of the Perfect Health System provides the answers.
Over the past six years, Mark Britnell has worked in 60 countries – covering eight-tenths of the world’s GDP – with hundreds of government, public and private healthcare organisations. He has circumnavigated the planet 70 times over and offers unique perspectives on countries and the tectonic global forces at play.
Mark infuses his writing with his own humanity and personal struggle with cancer and has all the heart and passion of a healthcare professional combined with the head of a person who leads a successful global health practice.
As we all have busy lives, each essay and chapter can be read in the time it takes to drink a cup of coffee. It’s quite possible to read this book in a day and gain a truly global health perspective. (from Amazon)
