*“India currently spends 1 per cent of GDP on health provision (other countries on average spend 6 per cent), and 800 million Indians have little or no access to modern health care. *
*These medical tales are recounted not just to highlight disparities and problems but to demonstrate how individuals can act as powerful catalysts for change”;*
*Said *Dr. Aarathi Prasad, who is a U.K.-based geneticist with Trinidadian and Indian roots. For her second book, In the Bonesetter’s Waiting Room, Dr. Prasad travels across India, speaking to a diverse group of healthcare practitioners in order to present snapshots of the multidisciplinary medical systems at work in the country today. *
