S'interrogeant sur ce qu'il est d'usage d'appeler "l'anthropologie médicale chez soi" (expression dont il convient de souligner la complexité épistémologique), l'auteur examine les récents développements que connaît depuis quelques années cette discipline. La mise en regard des recherches conduites dans les sociétés occidentales et de celles conduites dans les sociétés dites "exotiques" vise d'une part à montrer ce que les premières ont reçu en héritage, et d'autre part, ce que, en retour, elles ont apporté à l'anthropologie médicale dans son ensemble, en contribuant à affirmer sa spécificité disciplinaire et en faisant évoluer la réflexion sur des questions d'ordre anthropologique général. As she considers what is called to-day "Medical Anthropology at Home" (an epistemologically complex expression), the author examines the recent developments of this discipline these last years. The comparison of the researches led in western societies and of those led in so-called "exotic" societies, aims at showing, on the one hand, what the first have inherited from the second, and on the other hand, what they have, in turn, brought to medical anthropology as a whole by contributing to assert its disciplinary specificity and by helping to the development of the reflection concerning issues in general social anthropology.

This report examines changes in hospital and physician capacity over a decade, and also reveals the substantial unwarranted variation in capacity across regions. The regional variation in capacity is idiosyncratic, that is, not reflecting patient wants or needs. And research conducted over the last 30 years shows that lower capacity is compatible with high quality and comparable outcomes. Better planning of hospital and physician capacity is an essential part of reforming the health care system toward improved outcomes and affordability.
