Although the Service represented the pinnacle of an elite government agency, its reach in practice stretched far beyond the state, with the members of the African service collaborating with a range of other non-governmental groups. This collection of essays shows the diversity and active collaborations to be found in the untidy reality of government medical provision Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Vendor-supplied metadata Subject Great Britain.
