Geetanjali Agrawal, Advisor at Primus Partners, shares her view on India's evolving public health landscape. She highlights that while India has made remarkable progress in reducing maternal and child mortality and improving life expectancy, disparities across regions and socioeconomic groups remain. The country’s public health challenges are further compounded by the rising burden of non-communicable diseases, emerging infections, climate change, and an aging population. Strengthening healthcare infrastructure, scaling capacity-building efforts, and implementing targeted policy interventions are critical to addressing these issues effectively.
