Biomedicine in an Unstable Place: Infrastructure and Personhood in a Papua New Guinean Hospital - Experimental Futures

This ethnography shows how the struggle to practice clinical medicine in a resource-strapped public hospital in Papua New Guinea is complicated by the attempts of doctors, nurses, and patients to make themselves visible to others—kin, clinical experts, global scientists, politicians, and international development workers—as socially recognizable and valuable persons.
