Review
"Judith Justice sets as her dual goal an understanding of the local cultural information needed to improve health care in Nepal and an exploration of the barriers to the use of this information at national and international levels. Policies, Plans, and People reaches these goals by presenting an exceedingly rich ethnographic account of the development of health care in Nepal." -- Medical Anthropology Quarterly
"This book identifies one reason the failure to consider sociocultural information in planning health care (for the enormous and chronic gap between policy-making and programme implementation that exists in Nepal. It will be extremely useful for anthropologists, international health professionals, scholars and planners who are interested in the development process. The major theme of how to use anthropology in planning is relevant far beyond the Nepali or disciplinary boundaries." -- Health Policy Planning
