Whose health?
In general like after the British Rule its asking for government, economic, health, and social impact
I could not find health impact
The Brits and the Indians were exposed to unfamiliar diseases for which they had no immunity.
The effects of boiling water for tea may have been instrumental in lessening the frequency and effects of some diseases and illnesses in England.

It would be interesting to know if anything similar happened in India.
