the Development of Socio Medical Care in Netherlands

This book (1968) explores the evolution of Dutch socio-medical care, its influence on global social policy, and urban health challenges. It concludes with an analysis of the 1966 legislations expanding medico-social insurance nationwide. First published in 1968, The Development of Socio-Medical Care in the Netherlands examines the evolution of socio-medical provision in the Netherlands. It serves as a background to the study of contemporary Dutch social policy, a sourcebook for the pioneering ideas of community care and responsibility that originated in the Netherlands and later influenced other industrialised nations, and a parallel study to the development of British social policy. Professor Querido’s work primarily focuses on urban development, arguing that health and sickness issues are most acute in towns and that solutions must be found there. The book concludes with an analysis of two significant pieces of legislation passed in 1966, which aimed to extend the benefits of medico-social insurance to the entire population.
