Publisher Description: Marina de Regt provides an invaluable analysis of gender, health care training, and globalization, demonstrating women's positive impact on the complex workings of Yemeni health institutions. Using the Hodeida Urban Primary Health Care Project as a case study, the author looks at how development policies of the state interconnect with agendas of global donor organizations and the employment of women in the face of social disapproval and barriers to advancement. |
