This engaging book presents an insightful look into the
contributing factors which have shaped the modern public health
system in Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh. Reflecting on the
historical, socio-economic, and contemporary scenario of
environment and public health, this book presents essays that
discusses the role of spatial patterns of diseases, health risk
patterns, contributions of medical missionaries in health services
in Kashmir, changing disease ecology of Leh and traditional medical
therapy in Ladakh, among others. The book also examines the cholera
ecology in Kashmir during the nineteenth century, the significance
of Kangri - a portable traditional heat source - in cultural
studies, economics, and cancer research. It investigates the role
of traditional knowledge in the medical therapy of rural areas of
Ladakh and the impact of urbanization on quality of human health in
Srinagar City. Besides the book examines iodine deficiency
disorders and the extension of vector-borne diseases. The essays
also probe into the rising mental health concerns in post-pandemic
Kashmir. This book will be useful for students, researchers and
teachers of physical geography, human geography, environmental
studies, public health, and health sciences. It will also be of
interest to political geographers, sociologists, policymakers, and
those interested in the issues related to health and environment in
the region.
