Your hospital. Your doctor. Your diagnosis. All quietly owned by global capital.
India's healthcare system is being bought piece by piece hospitals, pharma companies, insurance players, diagnostic labs. The buyers are not Indian. And their bottom line is not your health.
In The Silent Syndicate, award-winning investigative journalist Ameer Shahul exposes how the behemoths of global finance have staged a silent takeover of India's most vital sector.
