"For India, 'health' has never been commerce. Health has always been 'sewa' (service)," says Union Health Minister Dr Mansukh Mandaviya in World Health Day exclusive with the NDTV-Dettol Banega Swasth India. Dr Mandaviya shared India's three 'health goals' which are a priority at G20 - digital health; pharma counter measures; and emergency preparedness. Dr Mandaviya emphasised on making healthcare accessible and affordable for all. The Health Minister praised the country for supporting the world in the face of the Covid-19 pandemic. He said, "India provides the cheapest vaccines and fulfills 65 per cent of the world's vaccine requirement. During Covid, one dose of the vaccine was priced at $15 - $20 but India provided it at $2 - $3."
