He also went on to give a summary of last year, stating that “initially we were faced with a shortage of PPE equipment, ventilators and N-95 masks,” but soon shifted focus to India’s triumphs in treating the virus.
He stated that “we were able to export these things to different parts of the world. Our scientists are now far ahead of many others globally in their vaccine research. In a couple of months, we should be able to produce a vaccine for COVID-19 infection. “
“Our performance has been excellent in all the parameters established by the World Health Organization, we have the highest recovery rate and the lowest mortality rate. We have 2,115 laboratories in every corner of the country for COVID testing. More than 20 lakh of dedicated COVID beds are in place. It shows that whenever India decides to excel at something, it does it, “he added.
The Health Ministry also echoed Prime Minister Modi’s dream of a flourishing state in “nationalism and humanism” by 2022.
He concluded: “We will deliver a new India in 2022 as per Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s dream. Only humanism and nationalism would prevail in this new India as envisioned by our prime minister.”
