A panoply of cultural, economic, infrastructural, and other factors prevent many interventions currently popular in the developed world from being similarly effective in the developing world. This book discusses less-traditional approaches, such as naturally based biomaterials and therapeutics, an area that has traditionally been overlooked but has also demonstrated impressive potential for health applications in recent years. This book explores precisely the kinds of applications which can enable countries like India to access more effective, inexpensive treatments while also taking more ownership of their healthcare technologies and innovations. 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in Public Health,$x2192-3698 606 $aBiomedical materials$zIndia 606 $aTherapeutics$zIndia 606 $aBiomedical engineering$zIndia 615 0$aBiomedical materials 615 0$aTherapeutics 615 0$aBiomedical engineering 676 $a610/.28 700 $aEswarappa$b Veda$0926807 701 $aBhatia$b Sujata K$0739910 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910438128603321 996 $aNaturally based biomaterials and therapeutics$94191287 997 $aUNINA
