The Globalization of Health Care: Book Talk and Discussion by Editor I. Glenn Cohen
I. Glenn Cohen, Faculty Co-Director of the Petrie-Flom Center and Professor at Harvard Law School, discussed his new edited volume The Globalization of Health Care: Legal and Ethical Issues, published by Oxford University Press in March 2013. The book ties together the manifestation of health care globalization in four related subject areas -- medical tourism, medical migration (physician "brain drain"), telemedicine, and pharmaceutical research and development -- and integrates them in a philosophical discussion of issues of justice and equity.
