Western Biomedicine/Hegemony

Question 1

Healthcare not major focus

Answer 1

Early hospitals only in support of army

Reactionary development of Healthcare, dispensaries + sanitary only after 1857, plague control only after 80s/90s (effected trade)

Famines not fixed, Brits only did minimum

Healthcare mostly in urban centres

Institutions like INC 1885 preferred

Question 2

Healthcare not accepted by Indians

Answer 2

Seen as ‘suspicious’ to western medicine/Western medicine last resort comp to indigenous methods

Quarantine camps did not help

Early vaccination attempts resisted

Early healthcare for women resisted

That brits compromised on above meant hegemonic but not necessarily control
