Need to create global system of preparedness for pandemic: Amitabh Kant

India’s Sherpa at the G20, Amitabh Kant, has called for strong political will and investment to work from the health supply shortfall in the event of an underlying crisis, noting that efforts to develop a system of global preparedness in the event of a pandemic are not justified. It is necessary. Participating in a discussion at the ‘India-US Biopharma Health Summit’, Kant said that there is a need for geographical diversity of drug manufacturing in different regions. Along with this, he also emphasized on improving the storage and better management of medicines.

Kant, the former chief executive officer (CEO) of the commission, cited claims that there was a need for a policy and platform to increase the prominence of health-related document sharing, which was seen lacking during the COVID-19 pandemic. He said that efforts would have to be made to share officers between the public and private sector. “While partner and national efforts during the pandemic can substantially reduce the supply of supply-related globs, initiatives to build a global pandemic preparedness system have yet to materialize,” he said.

In a message to the US pharmaceutical industry, Kant said, “We need capsule political form and investment to ensure that the health supply chain works effectively in times of crisis.” Time India will strive towards creating such a global system to negotiate vulnerable pandemics.
