Indo-British medical history

Indo-British medical history refers to the development of healthcare and medical practices in India during British colonial rule (1858-1947). The British introduced Western medicine, establishing hospitals and training programs, which transformed public health. This period saw the introduction of vaccinations, sanitation reforms, and modern medical education. However, it also highlighted disparities in healthcare access and indigenous medicinal practices. Key figures like Sir Edwin Lutyens and others contributed to infrastructure, while Indian leaders advocated for blending traditional and modern medicine. The legacy of this era continues to influence India's healthcare system today.
