The Hindu
The External Affairs Minister said that India has set up thousands of COVID-19 treatment centres amidst a deadly spike in cases earlier this year.
External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar on Friday said India has shown by a combination of digital tools and greater production capacity that it is possible for a country which has a per capita income of less than $2,000 to actually reach out in a very massive way in public health as it has set up thousands of treatment centres as part of healthcare transformation.
Jaishankar, speaking in Singapore during the Bloomberg New Economy Forum on the issue of Great Power Competition: The Emerging World Order, said that India’s health infrastructure has grown up in response to the pandemic.
