COVID-19 Global and National Response: Lessons for the Future
The COVID-19 pandemic spread to the entire world by the first quarter of 2020, unleashing a global bio-socio-economic chaos. The pandemic has presented a myriad of social, economic, political and strategic implications, inflicting enormous challenges on individuals, societies and states. The Independent Commission on Development and Health In India (ICDHI) conducted a comprehensive study of the continuously changing situation; compiling data, analysis and recommendations on a range of global as well as national concerns arising out of COVID-19. The report “COVID-19 Global & National Response: Lessons for the Future” has contributions by distinguished groups of professionals and researchers from around the world. As we address the ever evolving health, economic and societal crisis, we hope to contribute to the necessary global as well as national action against this enormous collective challenge.
