A comprehensive health diplomacy which can leverage Indian strengths and match it to Indian requirements at the international level requires an ability to synthesize and blend the various international cooperation activities already being undertaken by different branches of Government. A purpose-driven and non-silted approach to health diplomacy and structures that facilitate a whole-of-government approach to this critical area are required. India will need to tap foreign direct investment and technology for the private sector which has an important role in our health sector. Further, upgradation of Indian healthcare research and development capacity is paramount if we are to transition into a knowledge economy. Research and development capacity is in turn dependent on funds which are channelled in accordance with agendas that are fashioned by globally influential players including multilateral bodies, global health initiatives, Pharma companies, academic institutions and non-state actors. India needs to project its priorities on this global stage to ensure that its pressing problems are factored into these discussions. Indian priorities include antimicrobial resistance, studies on pathogens, vaccine technologies, bio-therapeutics, technologies for antibodies, diagnostics technologies,
early warning systems, Health system preparedness as well as social and economic interventions
