'Focus on health is testimony to India's commitment to fight COVID': WHO

"Focus on health in Budget is testimony to India's commitment to fight COVID," said WHO South-East Asia Regional Director Dr Poonam Khetrapal Singh on India's Budget 2021-22.

She further said that the focus also shows country's commitment to build stronger health systems. "Right from beginning, India has been pro-actively handling pandemic.

It has not only done this for its own country but it has also gone out of its way to support other countries of the Southeast Asian region with supplies and now vaccines so that those who are vulnerable, their needs are also addressed," she added.
