Sociocultural setting and Modern Health Care Service in Somali Region

In many developing countries the urban-based curative health care service rather than the preventive, primary and community oriented health care service has failed to achieve the intended policy goal of the nations. Hence,the application of of the one-size-fit all principle has failed to address the health needs of the Somali pastoral community.The purpose of this book is to outshine the roles of social and cultural settings in the delivery of modern health care service. This book also helps academicians, policy makers and public service providers better understand the empirical reality.
