During the 79th World Health Assembly in Geneva, Union Health Minister JP Nadda outlined India's rapid progress in healthcare expansion and digital innovation aimed at achieving universal health coverage. He highlighted the 'whole-of-government' and 'whole-of-society' approach that has facilitated the establishment of 185,000 health and wellness centers, known as Ayushman Arogya Mandirs, across the country. The Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission has been pivotal, creating over 880 million unique digital health IDs that enable integrated healthcare delivery and maintain longitudinal health records.

Nadda also recalled India's global outreach during the COVID-19 pandemic, notably the Vaccine Maitri initiative, which saw the country supply 300 million vaccine doses to approximately 100 nations. He stressed the need for ethical and human-centric approaches to emerging technologies like AI to ensure equitable healthcare. Furthermore, on the sidelines of the assembly, Nadda engaged in discussions with health ministers from Nepal, Bhutan, and Kenya to enhance cooperation in areas such as telemedicine and mental health, reinforcing India's commitment to global health solidarity.
