dc.description.abstract	This thesis examines the delivery and consumption of health care in Malaysia. In particular, it focusses on the encroachment of the dominant Western medical sector within the Malaysian health care delivery system as this threatens the survival of Chinese {and other ·ethnic) medicine. Attempts are made to detail the nature of this conflict at a national and case-study level by drawing upon the concepts of conservation, dissolution and conservation-dissolution. These concepts are also used to interpret the growth of Western medicine in advanced capitalist and peripheral countries and to· explain how practitioners of Chinese medicine have survived major political and economic upheavals in mainland China and East and South-east Asia. A main thrust of the thesis, therefore, is primarily to reflect on the conservation-dissolution framework as a methodology and to comment on other methods of analysing health care.	en_US
