For nearly 20 years from the late 1980s, the Northern Ireland health service, through its international agency, Nicare, pursued a little-known overseas development initiative involving dozens of health sector management and reform projects all around the world. These projects ranged from reform of the highly centralised health services of the Former Soviet Union, to total management of the health services of St Helena and Tristan da Cunha, to commissioning of the European Hospital at Gaza in the occupied Palestinian Territories.It is not the aim of this book to document or describe all of this activity. Rather it is to give an insight into the everyday experiences of the people involved in managing a number of the projects and to do so in an entertaining way. The story cannot be told without including a certain amount of technical detail but the emphasis is very much on the unusual and amusing things that happened.
