Chandigarh, April 29

Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare will organise the 10th National Summit on Good and Replicable Practices and Innovations in Public Health Systems in Chandigarh, from April 30 to May 1.

The Summit will be inaugurated by the Union Minister of Health & Family Welfare, JP Nadda, in the presence of Chief Minister of Haryana, Nayab Singh Saini, and the State Health & Family Welfare Minister Arti Singh Rao, according to a release.

The event will also witness participation from Additional Chief Secretaries and Principal Secretaries (Health), Mission Directors, senior State/UT nodal officials under NHM, and senior officials from the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare. Representatives from the National Health Systems Resource Centre (NHSRC) and the Regional Resource Centre-North East (RRC-NE) will also be present.

The National Summit is a flagship initiative of the Ministry aimed at showcasing, recognising, and documenting innovative and impactful practices adopted by States and Union Territories (UTs) to address diverse public health challenges. It also serves as a platform for cross-learning and facilitates the replication of successful and scalable models across the country.

The annual Summit provides a valuable opportunity for States and UTs to present innovative, evidence-based, and outcome-oriented interventions in public healthcare service delivery and technological domains that have led to measurable improvements in health outcomes, the release stated.

Since its inception in 2013, the initiative has brought together States and UTs to share experiences and innovations in public healthcare delivery.

The 9th edition of the Summit was held in Puri from February 28 to March 1, 2025.

Sounds good on paper but I hope this is not just another photo-op. Our public health system still has huge gaps - especially in rural areas. Will they actually implement the good ideas or just discuss and forget? Arre yaar, execution matters more than summits!

As someone working in the healthcare sector, I can tell you these summits do make a difference. The NHM has actually scaled up several innovations from previous years. However, I wish they also included representatives from grassroots NGOs who work directly with patients. Nadda ji needs to listen to the ground reality 🌱

Good to see Chandigarh hosting this - it's neutral ground for Haryana and Punjab politicians to cooperate. But honestly, with rising costs of medicines and private hospitals, the average Indian is struggling. Let's see some real innovation in affordable healthcare delivery, not just PowerPoint presentations.

I attended the Puri summit last year and the energy was incredible! States like Tamil Nadu and Gujarat presented amazing models for maternal health and digital health records. But what I really want to see is better coordination between states during health emergencies - a lesson we still need to learn from COVID 😷

Another summit with big names but where is the common man's voice? They should have patient representatives and village health workers on the panel. Our Aanganwadi workers are the real heroes - learn from them, not just bureaucrats! Let's make public health truly inclusive.
