Sociology of health & illness or medical sociology scrutinizes the impact of social conditions on people’s health and well-being, disease and their practices and attitudes associated with health and disease. Hence, in developing countries, particularly in India, medical sociology is somehow a neglected field, no doubt many sociologists examined the significance of the sociology of health and illness but its fundamental nature is still unexplored.
However, the book tried to explore such kinds of unexplored facts about chronic diseases and examined the significance and inequality of social medicine, particularly chronic diseases. Moreover, the book discovered interesting findings about the burden of chronic diseases and their impacts on social institutions like marriage, family, education, religion, region and social categories. The book's exclusivity is that it has primarily investigated the significance of social medicine in a field that no one has ever studied and explored.
