A medical student’s journey towards working for health and
social justice: “Every Indian medical student is a witness to social injustice
on a daily basis. Everyday they see patients denied necessary medical care
because they are too poor to afford it. Everyday they examine sick patients
who are too powerless to tell them to leave them alone. Most practical
teaching happens only in general wards where the poorer patients are
admitted. All medical students experience the disrespect, misunderstanding
and callousness that are typically characteristic of such wards”..………… |
