“The management of the COVID-19 pandemic, and especially the recent Omicron surge, has strongly demonstrated to the world the power of strong political will, self-reliance through Atma Nirbharta, innovation powered by technology, shared goals and collaborative efforts through a “Whole of Government” and “Whole of Society” approach”, Union Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya said on Thursday.
The Minister was delivering the keynote address at a webinar, titled “India’s Public Health Response to manage COVID-19”, with NITI Aayog members and more than 200 NGOs and civil society organisations that had worked at the grassroots during the pandemic.
