Western medicine was first introduced to India by the British during the 18th century.

The germ theory of disease, which states that diseases are caused by microorganisms, had a profound impact on Indian medical practices, leading to the development of new treatments and preventive measures.

The introduction of Western medicine influenced Indian mathematics in several ways, including the development of new mathematical models for disease transmission, the study of statistics and probability, and the development of new mathematical techniques for drug discovery.

P. C. Mahalanobis made significant contributions to the study of epidemiology and public health, including the development of statistical methods for disease surveillance and the design of public health interventions.

The influence of Western medicine on Indian mathematics contributed to the development of modern medicine in India in several ways, including the establishment of medical schools and hospitals based on Western principles, the development of new drugs and treatments for diseases, and the promotion of the integration of traditional Indian medicine with Western medicine.

P. C. Mahalanobis developed a mathematical model for the spread of cholera, which helped public health officials to understand the dynamics of the disease and to develop effective control measures.

The introduction of Western medicine did not lead to the decline of traditional Indian medicine, but rather stimulated the development of new traditional Indian medical treatments and led to the integration of traditional Indian medicine with Western medicine.

P. C. Mahalanobis developed a mathematical model for the spread of malaria, which helped public health officials to understand the dynamics of the disease and to develop effective control measures.

The influence of Western medicine on Indian mathematics contributed to the development of public health policies in India in several ways, including the development of new public health policies based on scientific evidence, the implementation of public health interventions based on mathematical models, and the promotion of the integration of traditional Indian public health practices with Western public health practices.

P. C. Mahalanobis developed a mathematical model for the spread of tuberculosis, which helped public health officials to understand the dynamics of the disease and to develop effective control measures.

The influence of Western medicine on Indian mathematics contributed to the development of modern medical education in India in several ways, including the establishment of medical schools and hospitals based on Western principles, the development of new medical curricula based on scientific evidence, and the promotion of the integration of traditional Indian medical education with Western medical education.

P. C. Mahalanobis developed a mathematical model for the spread of leprosy, which helped public health officials to understand the dynamics of the disease and to develop effective control measures.

The influence of Western medicine on Indian mathematics contributed to the development of modern medical research in India in several ways, including the establishment of research institutions and laboratories based on Western principles, the development of new research methods and techniques based on scientific evidence, and the promotion of the integration of traditional Indian medical research with Western medical research.

P. C. Mahalanobis developed a mathematical model for the spread of smallpox, which helped public health officials to understand the dynamics of the disease and to develop effective control measures.

The influence of Western medicine on Indian mathematics contributed to the development of modern medical ethics in India in several ways, including the development of new ethical guidelines for medical research and practice based on Western principles, the integration of traditional Indian medical ethics with Western medical ethics, and the promotion of the development of new medical ethics curricula based on scientific evidence.
