Reviews

“This timely collection presents diligently researched empirical studies of displaced peoples with focus on Uganda, Denmark and Georgia. The volume tells a story of interconnections between our common needs for survival and the social conditions required to live, highlighting three requisite dimensions that structure opportunities for care continuity: patients’ agency, our relations with each other in community, and programmes organised to deliver patient-centred care.” Jill Marshall, Royal Holloway University of London
