NEW DELHI: Covid-19 has highlighted the necessity for an efficient healthcare delivery system, according to NITI Aayog CEO Amitabh Kant, who also stated that technology and research solutions that offer data-based information fast are critical to making timely decisions.

On Thursday, Kant spoke at a session called "Applying Lessons Learned from Covid for a Stronger Health System." The event was held to discuss how the Johns Hopkins Gupta-Klinsky India Institute will strengthen research in public health, medicine, climate change, and technology over the next five years through impactful partnerships with more than 100 Indian organisations, including the NITI Aayog, ICMR, and MoHFW.

A panel explored the significance and urgency of developing innovative solutions for health system resiliency through interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary approaches.

"Robust research frameworks have been proved to inform life-saving health treatments over the last two years. Whether it's R&D for vaccines and treatments or delivery methods, public-private collaborations remain critical to the impact of research ", according to Gagandeep Kang, a virologist and professor at CMC Vellore who was also a panellist.

"The huge strain that Covid has put on every aspect of humanity - education, commerce, trade, geopolitics, justice, social welfare, and beyond - demonstrates the global health system's lack of robustness. Since the 1930s, Johns Hopkins University and India have collaborated to improve health systems. We'll keep working together to address health system resiliency by finding solutions that can be scaled globally." said John Hopkins University Provost Sunil Kumar.
