Vision 2035: NITI Aayog’s Blueprint for Public Health Surveillance in India
India has made some pivotal decisions in the prevention, control, and elimination of major communicable diseases. The eradication of smallpox worldwide and the elimination of polio in India are notable achievements. Additionally, the incidence of HIV infections has been halved over the last two decades. Pandemic outbreaks such as COVID-19 and the Nipah virus have been effectively contained. These successes underscore the importance of strong public health surveillance systems.
