Beginning in the nineteenth century when British colonial administrators viewed tuberculosis as a racial problem linked to the poverty, housing and insanitary habits of the Chinese working class, the book goes on to examine the ambitious medical and urban improvement initiatives of the returning British colonial government after the Second World War. It then considers the continuation and growth of these schemes in the post-colonial period and explores the most recent developments which include combating the resurgence of TB and the rise of antimicrobial resistance. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kah Seng Loh, Li Yang Hsu\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 103208443X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781032084435\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/30\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 180\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.58lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.39d","brand":"Kah Seng Loh","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44138742710527,"sku":"9781032084435","price":52.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3fc8c76a-4fd4-4391-b43c-1ab8dcc7a2f1.jpg?v=1687901235","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/tuberculosis-the-singapore-experience-kah-seng-loh-9781032084435","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
