Health Policy and Disease in Colonial and Post-Colonial Hong Kong, 1841-2003 de Ka-che Yip

Health Policy and Disease in Colonial and Post-Colonial Hong Kong, 1841-2003: Routledge Studies in the Modern History of Asia

Autor Ka-che Yip, Yuen Sang Leung, Man Kong Timothy Wong
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 25 iul 2016
Besides looking at major outbreaks of diseases and how they were coped with, diseases such as malaria, smallpox, tuberculosis, plague, venereal disease, avian flu and SARS, this book also examines how the successive government regimes in Hong Kong took action to prevent diseases and control potential threats to health. It shows how policies impacted the various Chinese and non-Chinese groups, and how policies were often formulated as a result of negotiations between these different groups. By considering developments over a long historical period, the book contrasts the different approaches in the periods of colonial rule, Japanese occupation, post-war reconstruction, transition to decolonization, and Hong Kong as Special Administrative Region within the People’s Republic of China.
