Swasthya Niye Badbisangbad by Sthabir Dasgupta [Hardcover]

"There is much debate about the character of modern medical science, its successes and failures, and so on. In the field of medicine, patients' experiences are varied, and doctors themselves have thousands of questions while practicing medicine. Patients may feel deceived, and doctors may also feel that they are being cheated. There are various questions regarding what and how much is good, and what and how much is bad about modern medical practices in the country. Alongside the proper use of modern medicines, there is also rampant misuse. Technological hedonism often outweighs the proper application of technology. The same applies to medical statistics. There are also questions about health insurance versus universal health care, health in the hands of the free market versus the nationalization of health. Searching for the source of these questions leads to the poverty of medical philosophy. There is ambiguity regarding the concept of health, the difference between health and treatment, the role of the state, the acceptance and rejection of the market, and so on, while there is a lack of informed debate on these topics. With the help of close experiences and information collected from the world of global scholarship, 'Debates on Health' presents one of the most complex yet most urgent debates in the real world to the readers."
