Medical Education in Western India:Grant Medical College and Sir Jamsetjee Jejeebhoy’s Hospital

This book reflects extensive scholarly activity by the author Sunil Pandya, on medical education in western India in general, and more specifically the early history of his alma mater, Grant Medical College (GMC) and Sir Jamsetjee Jejeebhoy Hospital (JJ Hospital), Mumbai. This book review is in two parts. The first part will inform the reader how the book is structured and what broad information they can expect to find in it. The second part deals with my own interpretation of the book, its value and messages for our times.
