A two-day International Workshop, titled “Making India a Global Healthcare Destination. Historical and Anthropological Enquiries on Cross-border Healthcare”, was co-organised and co-funded by the Cluster of Excellence “Asia & Europe” at the University of Heidelberg, and the French Institute of Pondicherry, on June 14 and 15, 2009, and held at the Karl Jasper Center for Advanced Transcultural Studies, Heidelberg.
The participants to this workshop explored the production of the Indian therapeutic landscape both within and increasingly beyond the national boundaries of the country. The main themes developed were: trans-nationalisms, cultural encounters and the transformations of therapeutic practices, labour migration and the health tourism industry, and the global construction of India.
