I think the world and India have discovered that we must give it back into public health. We now discovered that unless we go into preventive measures, into public health, nations won't be able to improve public health. How do you rediscover and reimagine public health. Example, India has world's largest healthcare workers - ASHA and Anganwadi. They are future of India. POSHAN Abhiyaan - world's largest nutrition programme can only work if there is interface between communities. What to eat, when to eat. For me, the story that came out of Covid is that India needs to strengthen public health at tier 3 - panchayat level, district level and state level.
