“Health is a function. It is not only of medical care but also the overall integrated development of society- cultural, economic, education, social, and political. Each of these aspects has a profound influence on health that, in turn, influences all these aspects. Health is an essential determinant of economic well-being,” he said.
Prof Suresh Lal said that the evidence shows that good health fuels economic growth, productivity, and individual earnings. “This book contains 20 essays on health economics,” Suresh Lal added. The VC, faculty, scholars and students appreciated Prof Lal for writing the book.
