Event Description

The medical system in India has been progressing at a frenetic pace. Our doctors and hospitals can feel justifiably proud of their capabilities. However, with health care coming increasingly under the control of the corporate sector, the price citizens pay for medical treatment is exorbitant. Barely 15% of our people can afford it while nearly 50% must rely on meager services which are provided by the government.

Where do we go from here?

Kavery Nambisan’s recently published book, A Luxury Called Health is the personal account of a doctor’s journey through a career spanning four decades. While speaking about her experience as a medical student, her surgical training in England and working as a surgeon in remote parts of rural India, she observes how the medical system has evolved through the years to where we are today. Dr Kavery Nambisan and Dr Mario Vaz engage us in a much-needed conversation that looks at interesting and introspective possibilities of how we can maintain good health.
