Based on the example of India, a major focus of the campaign, Sanjoy\u00a0Bhattacharya, director of the Centre for Global Health Histories\u00a0(University of York),\u00a0argues that historians and public health officials should recognize the varying roles played by a much wider range of participants.<\/p>\n

Highlighting the significance of both Indian and international field officials, the author shows how bureaucrats and politicians at different levels of administration and society managed to strengthen\u2014yet sometimes weaken\u2014important program components.<\/p>\n

According to the paper, the successful outcome of the smallpox eradication program demanded persistent hard work by a range of Indian and international officials.<\/p>\n
