Linking the geographical, the medical and the political in analysing health care delivery systems

Author

  • Rosenberg, M.W.

Abstract

The models and methodologies used by medical geographers for analysing health care delivery systems are critically reviewed. As a result, it is argued that an intellectual cul-de-sac has been reached because of the lack of linkage in these models and methodologies that explicitly recognize the socio-cultural and political-economic influences in the environment, where the health care delivery system under study exists. Using the example of abortion services in Canada in general, and Ontario specifically for illustrative purposes, a general model for linking the geographical, the medical and the political aspects of health care delivery is proposed.
