As we continue into the modern period, our discussion on the history of medicine in South Asia segues into a discussion on women doctors. Dr Mario Vaz charts the historical timeline of the practice of medicine through the biographical sketches of early female doctors and medical practitioners in India. The discussion develops into a review of a historical overview of medical history in India that takes the listeners to the erstwhile British Colonial India and traces the influences of modern medical practices in India.
The series, 'Rooh', is the outcome of a Foundation Project within the purview of the Archives and Museums Program of the India Foundation for the Arts in collaboration with the S.L. Bhatia History of Medicine Museum, Library and Archives, Bangalore, to explore the many themes of the History of Medicine. Part funding was also provided by the Parijat Foundation.
