Centre for Public Policy hosts the third lecture in its Foundation Day Lecture Series

KK Shailaja, former Minister for Health, Social Justice, and Woman & Child Development, Govt. of Kerala, speaks on ‘Policy Implications of the Pandemic’.

“A major lesson from the COVID-19 response is that states that do not invest in their government health system are at risk of compromising their capacity to respond to a crisis. In the short term, it is imperative that governments continue to strengthen their public health system and augment capacity,” said KK Shailaja, former Minister for Health, Social Justice, and Woman and Child Development, Government of Kerala.
