The Great Depression, however, finally exhausted the average patient's ability to pay and engendered a national health-care crisis. A public hospital insurance scheme was first achieved in Saskatchewan in 1947 and nationally in 1957. Universal accessibility without fear of the financial consequences of hospitalization reflected concern for both the medical health of Canadians unable to pay for hospital care, and the economic health of the paying 'patient of moderate means' threatened with medical pauperization. It also provided the resources necessary to address the modern epidemic of lifestyle diseases and to accommodate the demands of the post-war therapeutic revolution. Employing the historical records of selected individual hospitals, reports and data from all levels of government, a wide range of professional medical, nursing, hospital, and public health journals, and the international historiography of hospital history, David and Rosemary Gagan describe and account for the invention, rise, decline, and rebirth of the modern Canadian hospital between 1890 and 1950. They pay particular attention to the evolving interdependence of doctors and hospitals in the struggle to legitimate the social and cultural authority of scientific medicine, the evolution of hospital-based nursing, and the experiences of patients.

Corrupt business and management practices exist at all levels within the public hospital system (PHS) in Cameroon and are of increasing concern among the polity as the perceptions of key stakeholders who work within the system has not been examined for helping to diminish it. In particular, these practices are affecting the well-being and socioeconomic development of its denizens. The purpose of this research was to provide further understanding of how to diminish corrupt business and management practices that continue to lead to increased monetary cost to individuals and delays in seeking preventative care within the PHS. Stakeholder theory provided a starting point for understanding and explaining the perceptions of stakeholders about corruption within the context of agency governance. The results indicated that staff/client influence rather than only lack of motivation was a rationale for accepting bribes. It also revealed diversion, where physicians keep drugs and sell to patients.

Cet essai est le premier résultat d’une collaboration fructueuse entre l’Association lyonnaise d’économie médicale, présidée par les professeurs L. ROCHE et D.C. LAMBERT, et le Centre Pierre Léon d’histoire économique et sociale de la région lyonnaise. Il a été réalisé dans le cadre d’une action thématique programmée du CNRS sur les Consommations médicales lyonnaises : les indices montraient que la consommation de médecine de ville est plus faible proportionnellement à Lyon que dans la moyenne nationale. Une hypothèse normale était alors d’établir une corrélation entre une surconsommation hospitalière et l’existence à Lyon d’une structure hospitalière originale, qui puisse rendre compte au moins partiellement de cette réalité. Cette publication tente de suivre l’évolution des budgets des hospices Civils depuis le début du dix-neuvième siècle jusqu’à nos jours, cette évolution économique traduisant presque la totalité des transformations dans la politique de santé, dans les comportements, dans les attitudes envers l’hôpital.

In 'Redistributing the Poor', ethnographer and historical sociologist Armando Lara-Millán takes us into the day-to-day operations of running the largest hospital and jail system in the world. He shows how journalists, academics, and policy makers have drastically misunderstood the rise mental illness in jails as well as the decline of public hospitals in America. Lara-Millán offers a new way to think about how the government makes unsolvable social problems disappear on paper and perpetuates an endless cycle of social suffering.
