Nadda highlights need for a resilient healthcare system
It represents two essential dimensions; the capacity to save life when a patient is critically ill and the capacity to detect and respond to disease threats before they become major public health emergencies, says the Union Health Minister
Union Minister for Health and Family Welfare J.P. Nadda highlighted the need for a resilient healthcare system during the inauguration of 10 Critical Care Blocks (CCBs) and 12 Integrated Public Health Laboratories (IPHLs) in Andhra Pradesh on September 12. Speaking at the event, Nadda emphasized that a resilient healthcare system requires critical-care capacity, oxygen and medical-gas systems, isolation facilities, trained manpower, laboratory capacity, and the ability to detect outbreaks early, while maintaining routine health services.
The CCBs and IPHLs represent two essential dimensions of a resilient health system, as they enable the capacity to save lives when patients are critically ill and the capacity to detect and respond to disease threats before they become major public health emergencies.
