  "summary": "The leaders of BRICS countries have called for stronger cooperation in health, particularly in disease surveillance and medical product regulation. They have welcomed the establishment of a dedicated sub-working group to advance an integrated early warning system for the prevention and response to mass infectious diseases.\n\nIn their New Delhi Declaration, the leaders stressed the importance of strengthening health infrastructure and local production of medical products to enhance preparedness for future health emergencies. This, they said, would ensure timely, affordable and equitable access to healthcare services, vaccines, therapeutics and diagnostics.\n\nThe leaders recognised that infectious disease outbreaks, zoonotic threats, antimicrobial resistance and other public health emergencies require stronger international cooperation, timely information sharing and coordinated action, according to The Hindu Health. They also called for strengthened collaboration among BRICS medical products regulatory authorities.",
