Abstract

Abstract Conducting research on healthcare systems, policy implementation and the impact of health programmes can systematically identify the gaps and challenges in public health service delivery in India. Anthropology is particularly useful for so doing, but the role of anthropologists in health policy and planning needs recognition in India, as they can evaluate the effectiveness of interventions through a cultural lens, informing the development of evidence-based policies. The USA and Europe are more advanced in the use of anthropology in public health, due to their established academic programmes, robust research funding and infrastructure, and effective integration into public health institutions. Anthropological analysis and intervention has the capacity to improve Indian public health practice, particularly in terms of inclusivity and diversity issues.

人类学在印度公共卫生中的作用

对卫生保健系统、政策实施和卫生规划的影响进行研究，可以系统地识别印度公共卫生服务提供方面的差距和挑战。人类学在这方面特别有用，但印度需要承认人类学家在卫生政策和规划方面的作用，因为他们可以通过文化视角评估干预措施的有效性，为制定循证政策提供信息。美国和欧洲在将人类学应用于公共卫生方面更为先进，因为它们有成熟的学术项目、强大的研究资金和基础设施，以及与公共卫生机构的有效整合。人类学分析和干预有能力改善印度的公共卫生做法，特别是在包容性和多样性问题方面。

期刊介绍： Anthropology in Action (AIA) is a peer-reviewed journal publishing articles, commentaries, research reports, and book reviews in applied anthropology. Contributions reflect the use of anthropological training in policy- or practice-oriented work and foster the broader application of these approaches to practical problems. The journal provides a forum for debate and analysis for anthropologists working both inside and outside academia and aims to promote communication amongst practitioners, academics and students of anthropology in order to advance the cross-fertilisation of expertise and ideas. Recent themes and articles have included the anthropology of welfare, transferring anthropological skills to applied health research, design considerations in old-age living, museum-based anthropology education, cultural identities and British citizenship, feminism and anthropology, and international student and youth mobility.
