Healthcare in Motion: Immobilities in Health Service Delivery and Access

Cecilia Vindrola-Padros, Ginger A. Johnson, Anne Pfister

Research output: Book/ReportBook

Abstract


How does the need to obtain and deliver health services engender particular (im)mobility forms? And how is mobility experienced and imagined when it is required for healthcare access or delivery? Guided by these questions, Healthcare in Motion explores the dynamic interrelationship between mobility and healthcare, drawing on case studies from across the world and shedding light on the day-to-day practices of patients and professionals.
