In Recent Years, International Medicine Has Become A Growth Industry. International Aid Organizations, Religious Organizations, And Medical Schools All Provide Opportunities For Health Care Workers To Travel To Developing Countries To Provide Needed Medical Care To The World's Poorest Citizens. Ethics For International Medicine Explores The Many Challenges Faced By These Medical Aid Workers From The West: They Serve In Settings With Limited Medical Supplies, Facilities, And Personnel. Their Patients Speak Different Languages, Have Different Cultures, And May Even Have Different Interpretations Of Disease. With Limited Time In Which To Provide Medical Care To Hundreds Of People Or More, Ethical Dilemmas Abound, And Many Health Care Practitioners, Both Novice And Expert, Are Unprepared To Manage Them. This Volume Uses A Series Of Cases Studies To Provide Medical Aid Workers With A Method For Identifying, Analyzing, And Resolving Ethical Issues Within The Context Of International Medicine. It Is An Invaluable Tool For Individuals And Health Organizations Seeking To Serve In Developing Countries Throughout The World. Anji E. Wall. Includes Bibliographical References (p. [171]-177).
