She adding that the other WHO field staff involved with elimination of tuberculosis and neglected tropical diseases and hypertension control initiative were also significant resources. Singh


added that “it is now time to use all your experience, knowledge and skills, with the same rigour and discipline that you showed while monitoring polio activities, to support districts with


surveillance, contact tracing and containment activities”. The WHO release said strengths of the NPSP team surveillance, data management, monitoring and supervision, and responding to local


situations and challenges will be utilized to supplement efforts of National Centre for Disease Control, IDSP and Indian Council of Medical Research to strengthen COVID-19 surveillance. The


NPSP team will also support in sharing information and best practices and help states and districts calibrate their response based on transmission scenarios and local capacities. The WHO


field staff will continue to support immunisation and surveillance and elimination of Tuberculosis and Neglected Tropical Diseases, Singh said, adding, disease outbreaks can negatively


impact progress in a range of areas, from maternal and child mortality to vaccine-preventable diseases and other treatable conditions. India had been making stupendous progress in these


areas and we cannot afford for India's remarkable progress to be set back or reversed.
