*Book: COVID-19 A View From The Margins*
“COVID-19 - A View from the Margins” is a volume of essays documenting the
experiences of people from different walks of life at the front-line of the
COVID-19 response in India. This volume is a narration of the response as
viewed by current and former civil servants, doctors in rural and urban
India, journalists from across the country, new and seasoned public health
practitioners, economists, and lawyers, of the million mini-battles being
fought at the margins against COVID-19.

In this anthology we introduce readers to the Indian health system and the
country’s history of fighting epidemics, discuss the disease epidemiology
and then we travel to different corners of India to hear experiences and
opinions ranging from managing a non-profit hospital or running an ICU in
an under-resourced setting to detailed analysis of state and national-level
pandemic response strategy. This is a first-of-its kind attempt to view our
country’s response not only to the novel coronavirus but also its impact on
communicable and non-communicable diseases, life and livelihoods, human
rights, and the role our country’s institutions played in it.

This book is a celebration of the little successes on the ground and a
reminder of numerous lessons for the next time humankind is faced with an
unprecedented health emergency. But most importantly, it’s an attempt to
acknowledge, remember and reflect on the unfair burden of suffering borne
by those living at the margins of society.
