India Day at #UNGA is a celebration of India’s knowledge, innovation and growing contribution to the world.

This year, GHS launched a five-part series capturing India’s experience in scaling health initiatives and innovations that have transformed care for its people. Spanning digital health, nutrition, health systems strengthening, pharmaceuticals, and maternal health, the reports explore what it takes to move from innovation to implementation at scale: what worked, what is still being learned, and lessons for the Global South.

The papers anchored the discussion at “Women, Children and Youth: Building Healthier Futures for the Next Billion.” We want to extend our thanks to the Ms. Punya Salila Srivastava, Secretary, @MoHFW_INDIA who delivered the keynote address at our session and launched the reports. Drawing on experiences from across India’s health system, the series helped frame a conversation about how countries can translate innovation into lasting, system-wide impact.
