Dear colleagues, the @ICCA_research on #cancer and #innovation is focused on development, policies, economics, problem-framing and -solving. @ICCAIndia is releasing short videos and podcasts. Please share, discuss, debate #India #Bharat @NCBS_Bangalore @Economics_OU @IntDev_OU
In this @ICCAIndia #video we find out about one of the #books that shaped the focus of the @ICCA_research, Market Menagerie. It looks to answer a very important question, “How can we compare the #health #industry of different #countries?” @Smita_Srinivas
