The Policy to Practice series illustrates and provides critical perspectives on how global health policy becomes practice. It’s an opportunity for anthropologists to communicate with people in global public health policy, policymaking, and systems. The series provides a venue for relevant work from a variety of disciplines, including anthropology, sociology, history, political science, and critical public health.<\/p>\n

Leading the launch of the series, Lydia Z. Dixon’s Delivering Health<\/em> uncovers the ways in which maternal health outcomes in Mexico have been shaped by broader historical, political, and social factors in the country, through the perspectives of those who are at the front lines fighting for change: midwives. Patricia Antoniello’s For the Public Good<\/em> details the role of the Comprehensive Rural Health Project (CRHP), a groundbreaking, internationally recognized primary health care model that uses local solutions to solve intractable global health problems. Emphasizing equity and community participation, this grassroots approach recruits local women to be educated as village-based health workers.<\/p>\n
