He highlighted that science and evidence-based medicine remain the most effective tools for safeguarding public health. Tiwari explained that ICMR and DHR are compiling evidence on treatments for various diseases and preparing national-level guidelines to assist physicians in making scientific decisions.

Manish Sharma emphasized the responsibility of all healthcare personnel to ensure accessible and high-quality services for the public. He stressed the importance of sensitive and respectful communication with patients. He also noted that the advent of artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming the medical field, making it essential for professionals to stay updated.

Tiwari highlighted the One Health approach as key to addressing future pandemics. He explained that integrated efforts for human, animal, and environmental health are essential for effective control of infectious diseases. Increasing population and urbanization are raising human-animal contact, which increases infection risks. India’s National One Health Mission is based on this approach.
