It is time India took the lead in realizing the ‘one earth, one health’ vision with a holistic policy-making environment and aligned it with the philosophy of ‘vasudhaiva kutumbakam,’ Union Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya said on Wednesday.
Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, India has a strong political will to lead in innovative research and technology supported solutions that are commercially viable and have universal acceptability, he said at the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) Partnership Summit 2023. The summit has been themed “One Health: An Integrated, Collaborative, and Multisectoral Approach to Optimal Health.”
“The ‘one earth, one health’ vision can become a reality only with active global collaboration where countries don’t think of themselves but of collective global outcomes,” the minister said.
