Overview
Understanding India's capacity and mechanisms for public health preparedness and response is vital for assessing national health security, governance, and disaster management capabilities, especially in the context of emerging global health threats.
India has established a multi-institutional and multi-tiered framework for public health emergency response and disease surveillance, designed to detect, investigate, and control outbreaks of communicable diseases through coordinated efforts at central, state, and local levels.
