title: A new-modelled medicine? Comments on the WHO's regional strategy for Europe.
abstract: The paper considers the concept of health and underlying medical model contained within the WHO's regional strategy for Europe. It argues that, for all its virtues and despite the switch from pure bio-medicine towards a more bio-social approach, the strategy is still and perhaps not too surprisingly, technocratic, ahistorical, apolitical and unreflexive.
