Access to mental health care in El Salvador
This report estimates that 45% of those with mental health needs in the seven departments farthest away from the National Psychiatric Hospital departments are still not accessing services compared to the seven departments nearest the hospital. The results of this study support the World Health Organization's call for governments to fully implement community-based mental health systems. This is the first study to assess progress toward decentraliz…

Social Dynamics in Rural Sri Lankan Hospitals
Different hospitals produce different cultures-products of relationships between people of different staff categories and people from external community groups. These relationships demonstrate unique social dynamics in rural peripheral hospitals that form a major part of the health care system in Sri Lanka and other developing countries. Understanding the existing social dynamics might be useful when trying to implement new treatment guidelines t…
Challenges in achieving positive outcomes for children with complex congenital conditions
Our aim is to examine a series of systems-level challenges to the continuity of care of a newborn (i.e. a particular case) in the rural–urban context. These challenges include the state-wide system whereby inadequate bed numbers relative to demand are monitored on a daily basis (bed management), specialist medical expertise as a resource, and the flow of information between hospitals in a rural–urban divide. Whether quality of care is maintained …

Untangling the web of critical incidents
Critical incidents (CIs) are the elements that bring about an alert or wake up call for clinicians in hospital wards. They are considered critical because the safety of patients, staff or visitors is at risk. Not all CIs result in dire consequences, nor do they require Root Cause Analysis (RCA). Nonetheless, incidents affect patients and involve clinicians' interactions with each other. This paper describes the complexities embedded in two CIs in…
When the field is a ward or a clinic
In 1930 Michael M. Davis, commenting on public investment in American hospitals, wrote: [To the sick person and] to the family of the sick patient, the hospital is a battlefield between life and de
Local Issues and Changes
The last few years in Indonesia have seen many changes occurring as a result of unprecedented events — a financial crisis in 1997, the downfall of Soeharto's New Order in 1998, the instability of several governments 1998-2001, all amidst religious, economic, and ethnic disturbances and violence in many areas in Indonesia. At the same time laws of decentralization and regional autonomy provide new processes incorporating a democratic response and …
Tradisi and Moderen , Village and State
On Lombok island, in the province of West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia, indigenous medicine and biomedicine coexist. Nevertheless, biomedicine, a product of modernity and the development of the state has been superimposed on village life along with other state institutions such as education. In this paper I analyse the processes involved in Sasak villagers' quest for health. Operating within various and sometimes overlapping social fields and conflic…
