This just in from my colleague at PRI’s The World – a series called “Rationing Health: Who Lives? Who Decides?”, airing on public radio and online starting tomorrow. The series takes a look at four countries where different approaches to the distribution of healthcare have led to ethical dilemmas, including:
- South Africa – Rationing by Committee
- United Kingdom – Rationing by Cost Effectiveness
- Zambia – Rationing by Queue
- India – Rationining in Disasters
Seems like an interesting series, particularly given the US’s own internal debate about national healthcare. Listen in!
