| Description: | This lecture describes the global transformation of health care. It examines major changes in popular attitudes toward health and health care, including a sea change in how patient-practitioner relations are viewed.
The popularization of health and the democratization of health care are having a huge impact in North America and Europe, and throughout the world. An example of this is the spread of traditional Chinese medicine (including its philosophy and use of herbs, drugs, acupuncture, and exercise/massage) to the West. Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) has influenced biomedicine and vice versa, creating an entirely new map of health and health care. The implications for medicine, for health research, and for economic, political, and moral aspects of health care are discussed in this lecture.
