NEW DELHI - India has three Covid-19 vaccines under trial and will ensure a vaccine reaches every citizen, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said, paying tribute to those fighting the coronavirus pandemic that’s surging across India.
Every India will be given a health ID, Modi said while addressing the nation on India’s Independence Day from the ramparts of New Delhi’s 17th-century Red Fort on Saturday. “Every test, every health issue, every prescription and reports will be included in this health ID,” Modi said. “All problems around fixing appointment and making payments will be resolved through the new health mission.”
Once a vaccine is approved, “the road map for its production and distribution among Indians is also ready,” Modi said. “This confidence has developed because India worked on its democracy, on policies and on the strengthening the foundation of its democracy,” Modi said. “Many businesses across India are looking at India as a center for their supply chains.”
