• The dominant social science paradigms of modernity tend to downplay the importance of health and health care. In contrast we argue here that to be modern, a society must possess a health care system through which it makes available the fruits of biomedical science-modern medicine-to most of its population. Social science analysis of health care systems is relatively new. Methodologies and conceptual tools as well as basic issues and propositions have not been worked out. Basic unanswered questions include the following. What produces health? Does the health care system produce health? The relationship between health and health care systems is discussed with special emphasis on its implications for developing societies. Does the history of the industrial societies hold any lessons for health priorities and health services evolution in developing societies?
