Description
Book SynopsisThis book offers a teleological explanation for the under-development of health services in India by knitting together various actors and sub-actors within it, while providing rich insights for future research in global public health.
Trade ReviewA must-read book for health managers and policy makers which clearly, cogently, and critically describes health service development in India. The concepts are so clearly illustrated based on evidence and experience; a step forward in public health discourse and a one-stop book for students and researchers. -- Kumudu Wijewardene, Sri Jayawardenepura University
