Abstract:

The COVID-19 pandemic posed unprecedented challenges to global health systems, and India, with its vast population and diverse healthcare landscape, required coordinated efforts to mitigate its impact. This study examines the role of the World Health Organization (WHO) in supporting India’s pandemic response. It outlines WHO’s contributions to surveillance, vaccination strategy, public health communication, and capacity building. The methodology includes document analysis of WHO reports, government releases, and media coverage. Results indicate WHO’s pivotal role in technical guidance, resource mobilization, and policy support. The discussion highlights the effectiveness of WHO’s collaboration with Indian institutions and identifies areas for improvement in future health emergencies. The study concludes that WHO’s participation significantly enhanced India’s resilience and preparedness during the COVID-19 crisis.
