After facing flak for “not handling the pandemic in the most scientific way, ICMR the nodal agency for covid 19 in India, wants to train healthcare professionals in community medicine to deal with future problems in a better way .
Dr. Mansukh Mandaviya, Union Minister of Health and Family Welfare, virtually lay the foundation for the new building of ICMR School of Public Health at ICMR- NIE, Chennai*
*Training of at least 150 mid-level public health professionals over the next three years would be ensured*
*India has been ramping up health infrastructure rapidly and this will boost India’s stature on a global level: Dr. Mandaviya*
*There is a need to build a visible interface between public health training and communities so that trained professionals can effectively deal with the problems in the communities: Dr. Mandaviya*.
ICMR has been criticised for hasting the approvals of indigenous covid 19 vaccine - covaxin without even waiting for the results of phase three trials for efficacy.
This experts believe is the reason for covaxins delayed recognition by health authorities across the world.
