Breaking Walls & Building Bridges: Dr Anita Patil-Deshmukh
Not many of us would spend years training as a doctor and then choose to live and work in community health in a remote part of rural India. But this is exactly the choice that Drs Abhay and Rani Bang made very early in their lives. On completing their studies, they founded SEARCH – the Society for Education, Action and Research in Community Health in 1985, where for nearly forty years, they have transformed health care and service.
In this episode of Grassroots Nation, we discover how, through their work, Drs Abhay and Rani Bang have consistently demonstrated that it is possible to live in rural India and do high impact work, transforming lives on the ground while producing research of the highest level.
