Doctor's Journey to Improve Healthcare in Remote Assam
Dr. Sayantani Bhattacharjee is a doctor who started a healthcare business called 'Better Life' in very remote parts of Assam, India.
She wrote a book about her journey called 'In Search of a Better Life'.
The book talks about how she overcame many challenges to provide healthcare to people who didn't have access to it.
She hopes her story will inspire others to do similar work.
The book was launched at an event with many important guests who talked about the need for better healthcare in rural areas.
Dr. Sayantani Bhattacharjee launched her book 'In Search of a Better Life' detailing her journey as a medico-entrepreneur in Assam.
She founded 'Better Life', a chain of affordable healthcare facilities in remote areas of Assam, particularly near Bhutan.
The book highlights her challenges and experiences in providing healthcare in underserved communities.
