HEALTH AND TRIBES IN INDIA : CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES BY K.N. DASH [HARDCOVER]

Books on Health and Tribes in India explore the health challenges, disparities, and healthcare access among India’s tribal communities, often highlighting issues like the “triple burden of disease,” malnutrition, and the impact of the public health system’s failures. These books synthesize findings from various studies, examining how historical, social, and cultural factors, alongside inadequate healthcare infrastructure, contribute to poor health outcomes for tribal populations. They also discuss the importance of understanding tribal health within its unique cultural context, including traditional medicine, and analyze the need for policy changes and better-designed health programs.
