Opis

Despite rapid advances in modern medicine and state-of-the-art health care services in the private sector in India, primary health care remains inaccessible to a majority of the population. This compendium of essays by scholars and practitioners addresses the three important themes of public health, micro-finance and governance with a view towards enabling policy and decision makers, academics, researchers and industry participants in improving service delivery.
