New Delhi, Dec 12 : Union Health Minister Dr. Harsh Vardhan on Saturday chaired an event to mark Universal Health Coverage and emphasised that Covid-19 has greatly magnified the need for building resilient health care systems and ensuring their equitable access to all without discrimination. We must do away with the status quo that got us here and settle for nothing less than strong health systems that protect everyone - now and in the future. It has been my long-standing belief that India has the ability to deliver to the world, a robust model for providing Universal Health Coverage, the health minister said.

On an overcast afternoon in October, 22-year-old Surabhi Arandhara stood holding her two-year-old son, Arshik Jyoti, as he cried uncontrollably. Arshik was diagnosed with lymphoma in September. Arandhara, a soft-voiced widow clad in an orange saree, choked back tears while telling us her story. Living in a remote village in Assam s Jorhat district seven hours away, Arandhara and her in-laws barely have any money for the child s treatment. With the help of a woman she fondly refers to as bou (sister-in-law in Assamese), Arandhara was able to get in touch with a regional news channel in Guwahati. The news channel arranged for Arandhara and Arshik s 330-km journey by road from their village to Guwahati. Arshik is now undergoing treatment at the Gauhati Medical College and Hospital. The doctor has not assured anything yet whether he will recover or not, she said.
