New Delhi.  There is a lot of speculation about the third wave of Corona and the Delta Plus variant.  Many researches have also come to the fore regarding the timing of the third wave and the dangers of the Delta Plus variant.  Meanwhile, AIIMS Director Dr Randeep Guleria said, with the changing times, we have to change our public health system.  Initiatives like Ayushman Bharat see a big change.

Addressing the CII Public Health Summit, Dr Randeep Guleria said, “We are ready for new variants like the third wave and the Delta Plus.  What we need to look forward to is how we can strengthen our public health system.  We need to learn from the past.  This preparation should be done not only for the corona epidemic, but for the future also we have to be prepared for such outbreaks and epidemics.

“Public health systems must be driven by technology and data.  This will help us take decisions with evidence.

Randeep Guleria said, Corona vaccine for children will be a big achievement.  Schools can be opened smoothly after children get the vaccine.  Currently, the vaccine trial is going on for children aged 2 to 18 years.  The figures may come by September.
