“Health and Well Being in Late Life: Perspectives and Narratives from India” by Dr Prasun Chatterjee


I thought of writing a book review of Dr Prasun's latest book. But our Vice President has already done a great job. Happy to share his speech below.



Vice President M Venkaiah Naidu addressed a gathering after releasing the book, “Health and Well Being in Late Life: Perspectives and Narratives from India” written by Dr Prasun Chatterjee, a specialist in Geriatric Medicine, AIIMS on December 21, 2019. He expressed anguish over reports of abuse of elders or their abandonment, he said that many elders were forced to stay in old age homes.
