dc.description.abstractThe paper contributes to emergent literature on the institutional context of informal health service provision, which is relevant to policy discourse in India, health system reform, and to marginalised populations the world over. Universal health care is premised on the participation of adequate numbers of skilled health providers who operate within a unifying regulatory framework. However, many providers (known as RMPs) who work in marginalised regions lack government-recognised medical degrees. This research details their social profile, including how practice is embedded in and regulated by relations with formal health systems, markets and communities in which they work and live.en
