About the Book

Contextuality of Healthcare Choices in Pakistan analyzes the contextual factors shaping healthcare decision-making in Pakistan. Divided into three thematic areas—contextuality of healthcare choices, power dynamics and the health of the marginalized, and emerging challenges and healthcare response—the book explores the complex interplay of social, cultural, and institutional influences on health-seeking behaviors. The book examines the nuanced fabric of healthcare decision-making in Pakistan through a series of nine meticulously crafted chapters. From the influence of geography and social context on health-related choices to the power dynamics inherent in patient-doctor interactions, each chapter offers valuable insights into the myriad factors shaping individuals' healthcare decisions. Moreover, the book sheds light on overlooked aspects of healthcare decision-making, including the experiences of marginalized communities such as the transgender population and individuals seeking mental healthcare. Drawing on diverse theoretical perspectives and empirical evidence, this book challenges simplistic notions of healthcare decision-making as solely individual and rational. Instead, it argues for a comprehensive understanding of how communal, social, and institutional factors intersect to shape health-seeking behaviors. By illuminating the contextual complexities inherent in healthcare decision-making, this book offers invaluable insights for researchers, policymakers, healthcare professionals, and the wider public interested in understanding and improving healthcare outcomes in Pakistan.

Review :
“This text provides a comprehensive overview of healthcare choices in Pakistan from a sociological perspective. Firmly grounded in sociological theory, the authors delve into the contexts in which individual choices are made. A compelling addition to literature, providing much-needed insights into the Pakistani health care system.” "Contextuality of Healthcare Choices in Pakistan substantially contributes to the literature on healthcare decision-making by not only addressing cultural barriers to healthcare resources but by incorporating research concerning alternative healthcare. Each chapter presents thought-provoking findings which are also relevant to other countries around the globe. The contributors demonstrate that health can be a privilege, a status commodity, a lifestyle, or an expression of sustained stratification depending on one’s socioeconomic status. This book is critical for sociologists (especially medical sociologists), students and professionals in healthcare, academicians interested in health, wellness specialists, and policymakers."
