Dr Henk Bekedam, WHO’s representative in India, interviewed by Abantika Ghosh (The Indian Express)

-The Indian Express India’s response has been comprehensive and robust. Right from the onset, the government has taken things very seriously, as reflected in the high-level of political commitment, including by the Prime Minister himself, says Dr Henk Bekedam. While India is yet to adopt the World Health Organisation’s prescription of “test test test” against the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19), Dr Henk Bekedam, WHO’s representative in India, tells The Indian Express that the response has been “comprehensive and robust”. Excerpts from the interview: * How has India fared on its COVID-19 response so far? India’s response has been comprehensive and robust. Right from the onset, the government has taken things very seriously, as reflected in the high-level of political commitment, including by the Prime Minister himself. Massive efforts are being made towards containing the spread, including strengthening surveillance, laboratory capacity, contact tracing and isolation. The (Health) Minister and (Union Health) Secretary have been calling the states regularly… They have mobilised the states very effectively. Also, various departments and ministries were involved — what we call a whole-of-government approach. They are well mobilised in case of a larger outbreak at this stage.
