Decolonizing International Health : India and Southeast Asia, 1930-65

In the mid-twentieth century, Asia was at the heart of international efforts to create a world free from disease.

This book is a history of international public health spanning the colonial and post-colonial eras.

The discussion focuses on India, and highlights the transnational networks connecting developments in India with Southeast Asia, and the wider world.

Drawing on a diverse range of unpublished sources, the book contributes to debates on nationalism, internationalism and science in an age of decolonization.
