Dr Srinath Reddy, president of the Public Health Foundation of India (PHFI), and Dr Sangita Reddy, joint managing director of Apollo Hospitals, talk about India’s public health system—what the largest gaps are, where the greatest needs are, and what the role of private players and the public sector needs to be. Highlights We need to identify the largest gaps in India’s healthcare system and prioritise the aspects that need to be strengthened over the next few years.  Mere infrastructure strengthening will not be enough—we need a multi-layered and multiskilled healthcare workforce as well. Technology can help reimagine healthcare by creating a system of disease surveillance and prevention through detailed personal health records.  For a robust health system we must acknowledge both—the needs of individuals and the social, economic, and environmental contexts that impact their choices and access to healthcare.
