Abstract

The purpose of this chapter is to explore how issues with medicine and health care are pervasive all over the globe- to a lesser or greater extent. The twin contexts of the quality of and access to health care and medical services are entangled in the deeper complexities of the way the health care machinery works. Problems with governance, political instability and unrest, environmental factors and legal dilemmas add to the already chaotic nature of health care establishments, where patients and doctors find themselves surrounded and directed by technology most of the time. The doctor- patient relationship suffers due to multiple factors ranging from a ‘lack of satisfaction' from the medical consultation to issues of affordability and funding.
