World Health Day 2021

�The ongoing Covid pandemic has highlighted the importance of providing equitable access to high-quality healthcare services for all sections of the society. This is critical to improve disease outcomes, reduce the negative impact of health disorders and pandemics on people�s lives, and build a fairer, healthier world. India has managed the Covid pandemic very well so far, despite having the world�s second largest population which faces huge challenges in terms of accessibility and affordability of modern healthcare. I believe India has reached herd immunity in the last 3 to 4 months which led to a decline in Covid cases. The new strains of Coronavirus have now triggered a second wave of Covid. We should not let our guard down and take precautions. Accelerating the Covid vaccination program is the need of the hour rather than the current slow-and-steady approach.�
