Caste Discrimination and Health Inequalities in India
Caste-based discrimination in India leads to serious health disparities. Marginalized communities often face limited access to hospitals, clean water, and adequate sanitation, increasing their risk of disease and malnutrition. Unsafe work and social exclusion further worsen their health outcomes. Implementing inclusive healthcare policies and training medical staff to address bias is essential. Reducing caste-based inequality is vital for improving public health and life expectancy.

Environmental and Social Determinants of Tuberculosis in Dharavi
Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major public health challenge, particularly in densely populated urban slums such as Dharavi, Mumbai, where overcrowding, limited sanitation, and poor access to healthcare contribute to high transmission rates. Research is needed to better understand the environmental and social factors that drive TB spread in this setting, which can inform targeted interventions and improve disease control efforts.
