Book Synopsis
In 2001, Thailand introduced universal health care reforms that have become some of the most celebrated in the world. Drawing on two years of fieldwork at a district hospital in northern Thailand, Bo Kyeong Seo examines how people in marginal and dependent social positions negotiate the process of obtaining care.

Trade Review
An extraordinarily nuanced and sensitive anthropological treatment of the experience of the vulnerable and those who care for them in a universal health care system that has been widely regarded as a model for the industrializing world." - Joseph Harris, Boston University

"Based on impressive ethnographic research that considers the perspectives of both patients and health care providers, this book provides a compelling account of how the country's ambitious universal health care program is actually working out on the ground." - Nancy Eberhardt, Knox College
