THE ENCLOSURE OF HEALTHCARE
Shadow Access, Emergency Overload, Moral Injury, and the Transition to Life-Coherent Health SystemsBy Dr. Bichara Sahely
Length1h 31m
About this audiobook
When access to healthcare depends on money, transport, status, or knowing someone inside the system, care becomes enclosed. This audiobook explores how shadow access, emergency overload, moral injury, workforce depletion, weak prevention, and blocked patient pathways reinforce one another. Grounded in Caribbean experience yet globally relevant, it introduces the concepts of healthcare enclosure, differential friction, borrowed capacity, and the healthcare viability gap. It then offers a life-coherent alternative: health systems that prevent avoidable illness, provide timely care according to need, protect their workforce, strengthen primary care, improve emergency flow, and renew the human and institutional capacities required for future care. The goal is a transition from rescue by connection to care by right.
