Abstract

This chapter is the result on the analysis of medical and social welfare in India, an emerging economy with many disparities, focusing in particular on West Bengal context. India is a country with many contradictions because, on one hand, offers many avantgarde techniques and specializations but, on the other hand, many basic facilities, currently, are not available to certain sections of its complex society. The chapter, starting from an introduction about Polisocial Award and the aims and purpose of the text, examines the social, environmental and economic aspects of Indian context and strengths and weaknesses of the Indian healthcare system.
