Health Inequities in India:A Synthesis of Recent Evidence

This book synthesizes health inequities research in India since 2008. Its an important and timely contribution as the issues of inequity are moving up the policy agenda, at least in global policy discourse with an aspiration of ‘leaving no one behind’ in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. In the two separate pieces forwarding this book, Sharmila Mhatre and Lesley Doyal reiterate the global relevance of such work considering India’s rapid economic growth and rising political significance. The book would be of much use and interest to students, researchers and advocates interested in health and public policy issues.
