NEW DELHI: Union Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya highlighted the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on global health infrastructure, emphasizing the need for enhanced robustness, inclusivity, and responsiveness while maintaining the central role of the World Health Organization (WHO).

The minister was addressing the G7 Health Ministerial meeting on Global Health Architecture in Nagasaki, Japan on Saturday. The meeting was held to discuss global health challenges and ways to ensure preparedness, prevention and response to future health emergencies among health ministers of G7 countries.

Mandaviya said, “When it comes to managing any health emergency, any country’s national health system is heavily dependent on the global health system." Dr Mandaviya cautioned against fragmented and siloed efforts in addressing the challenges faced by the world and underlined the need for collaborative efforts to ensure global health security including a specific focus on promoting health equity.

He noted that while multiple global efforts are underway, there is a need to ensure the convergence of these ongoing initiatives.

India train accident caused by error with signaling system, railway official says

that killed 275 people and injured hundreds was caused by an error in the electronic signaling system that led a train to wrongly change tracks and crash into a freight train, officials said Sunday.Authorities worked to clear the mangled wreckage of the two passenger trains that derailed Friday night in Balasore district in Odisha state in one of the country’s deadliest rail disasters in decades.An Odisha government statement revised the death toll to 275 after a top state officer put the number at over 300 on Sunday morning. The officer spoke on condition of anonymity as he was not authorized to speak to reporters.Jaya Verma Sinha, a senior railway official, said the preliminary investigations revealed that a signal was given to the high-speed Coromandel Express to run on the main track line, but the signal later changed, and the train instead entered an adjacent loop line where it rammed into a freight loaded with iron ore.Rescue workers gather around damaged carriages during search for survivors at the accident site of a three-train collision near Balasore, about 200 km (125 miles) from the state capital Bhubaneswar in the eastern state of Odisha, on June 3, 2023.
