Produktbeschreibung

This hard-hitting volume shows a mirror to the society and, more specifically, to those associated with the health sector¿-on how healers, in many cases, are shifting shape to becoming predators. In the essays by contributors from within and outside the medical fraternity, we see the many faces, the many facets of corruption¿-from exorbitant billing by corporate hospitals to the non-merit-based selection in medical colleges to the questionable motives playingstrong in the area of organ transplantation. It also offers solutions, and some stories of hope. The Foreword by Amartya Sen is an added bonus.
