Overview of (Book name here)
According to CH. Sleevamma, “Health is not primarily a matter of doctors, social services, and hospitals. Health is a matter of social justice. There is no time to lose. We have the goal of “Health for all by the year 2000 AD”. This is the call of the world health organization. and India has risen to the challenge. Previously, health care was for those who lived close enough to a hospital or doctor in time of need and who could spend money on drugs and treatment.Topics of this Edition
