Noted Kerala public health expert Soman dead
Eminent public health expert C.R. Soman passed away at a hospital here Friday. He was 71.
Soman, a former professor at the medical college here, had been hospitalised a few days ago and had undergone a heart surgery, family sources said. He is survived by his wife and two sons.
Soman came into prominence in 1985 when he and P.G.K. Panikkar, former director of the Centre for Development Studies, pointed out in a book the paradox between the high morbidity and low mortality in Kerala.
After retiring, he was the chairman of an NGO, Health Action by People, which did extensive research in the field of public health.

Two people were arrested early Sunday by Maharashtra's Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) for allegedly plotting to blow up oil tanks of the state-run Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC), an official said.
Four Muslim members of parliament have demanded 10 percent reservation for Muslims across the country as recommended by the Ranganath Mishra Commission and a sub-quota for Muslim women in the proposed 33 percent reservation for women in parliament and state assemblies.
Spring brings memories flooding back in Kashmir, like it does the almond blossoms. In the heart of old Srinagar, Badamwari - the garden of almonds with its flowerladen trees - these days presents a mesmerising sight.
Perhaps one shouldn't expect too much too soon from the women's reservation bill - but besides changing the face of politics, it is bound to alter the gender dynamics of Indian society gradually, say experts.
