Achievements
This account on the situation of some of the private medical education and healthcare institutions is based on our observations and discussions with some of our acquaintances and friends. There is absolutely no doubt that majority of the private players have demonstrated highest possible standards in this field. However, there are still a few institutions that are keeping all ethical principles aside. In this profession of nobility this should be unacceptable.
This account on the situation of some of the private medical education and healthcare institutions is based on our observations and discussions with some of our acquaintances and friends. There is absolutely no doubt that majority of the private players have demonstrated highest possible standards in this field. However, there are still a few institutions that are keeping all ethical principles aside. In this profession of nobility this should be unacceptable. In order to present those issues in an understandable manner, some narration imagined and woven around real issues and stories created.
The question that would arise in every reader’s mind would be - ‘why the healthcare personnel themselves are exposing bad practices of their own sector?’ It’s because this is something that, if continues, would have serious consequences affecting even the future generations. Healthcare, and thus medical education, are the foundation stones of health, development, and productivity of our people. Newspapers and some reputed journals have already started talking about the state of affairs. And this constructive criticism is to drive healthcare professionals to seriously introspect. We ourselves need to clean the system as it is long due.
This book is a ‘MUST READ’ for everyone feeling the need to uplift health systems.
Epidemiology, a vital tool of public health, plays a paramount role in guiding public health action and rationalizing its approaches. Surprisingly, this is not one of the most preferred disciplines for specialization, among the medical students, in developing countries where its applications are most needed. For building capacity, there is a need of reinforcing the basic concepts for better understanding of its applications, not only among medical and healthca
Epidemiology, a vital tool of public health, plays a paramount role in guiding public health action and rationalizing its approaches. Surprisingly, this is not one of the most preferred disciplines for specialization, among the medical students, in developing countries where its applications are most needed. For building capacity, there is a need of reinforcing the basic concepts for better understanding of its applications, not only among medical and healthcare undergraduates, but also amongst public health managers working at different levels.
The author, through the book ‘Basics of Epidemiology- Concepts Made Simple’, has attempted to present the basics in a simplistic manner, which will help students and public health managers to develop applications based conceptual clarity. As an essential companion, the book will be of immense value for them. The unique feature is its simple presentation, almost in a conversational tone, with plenty of relevant examples.
