              and other vulnerable groups. The programme will improve the governance of India’s One Health approach, and its multisector response to emerging infectious diseases. </span></span></span></p>

GOVERNMENT OF INDIA AND ADB SIGN $170 MILLION LOAN TO STRENGTHEN PANDEMIC
PREPAREDNESS AND RESPONSE


Posted On: 02 JUL 2024 9:47PM by PIB Delhi


The Government of India and the Asian Development Bank (ADB) today signed a $170
million policy-based loan to consolidate and strengthen India’s health system
preparedness and response capacity to future pandemics.

The signatories to the ‘Strengthened and Measurable Actions for Resilient and
Transformative Health Systems Programme (Subprogramme 1)’ were Ms. Juhi
Mukherjee, Joint Secretary, Department of Economic Affairs, Ministry of Finance,
on behalf of the Government of India and Ms. Mio Oka, Country Director of ADB’s
India Resident Mission for ADB.

Ms. Mukherjee said that during the COVID-19 pandemic, the government adopted
several practices to significantly strengthen its pandemic preparedness and
response capability. She said that the ADB programme will help the government’s
ongoing efforts in further strengthening disease surveillance, ensure
sufficiency and quality of health professionals and promote climate-resilient
public health infrastructure and service delivery.

“The programme builds on ADB’s partnership with the Government of India to
strengthen its health system and adopt transformative solutions,” said Ms. Oka.
“Through this policy-based loan, ADB will help the government fill the gaps in
policy, legislative, and institutional governance and structures and contribute
to India’s goal of providing universal access to quality and affordable health
care services to strengthen pandemic preparedness and response.”

The programme will be anchored in major government's plans and initiatives
including the National Health Policy 2017; Pradhan Mantri Ayushman Bharat Health
Infrastructure Mission (PM-ABHIM), the National One Health Mission, and the
government’s efforts to strengthen human resources for health (HRH). The
targeted reform areas through the program include: (i) strengthened disease
surveillance and multisectoral response, (ii) strengthened human resources for
health, and (iii) expanded climate resilient public health infrastructure and
innovative service delivery.

The programme will strengthen disease surveillance systems to effectively
respond to public health threats through setting up laboratory networks for
infectious disease surveillance at the state, union, and metropolitan levels,
and building robust data systems to monitor and coordinate national health
programmes for the poor, women, and other vulnerable groups. The programme will
improve the governance of India’s One Health approach, and its multisector
response to emerging infectious diseases.

ADB will support policy reforms that will ensure there are adequate and
competent health professionals and workers. This includes legislation that will
regulate and maintain standards of education, services and professional conduct
of nurses, midwives, allied workers, and doctors.

The programme will help manage integrated public health laboratories in five
states and district critical care hospital blocks to improve services for
infectious diseases and critical illnesses. It will assist the inter-sectoral
governing body and multi-sector task force in establishing green and
climate-resilient health care facilities. Innovative solutions for service
delivery would also be supported.
