The Centre will implement $25-million G20 Pandemic Fund to develop a holistic health coverage for livestock.
It is designed to enhance the country’s “animal health security” by upgrading and expanding animal health laboratories and developing laboratory networks.
It will create a more integrated system for monitoring and managing “zoonotic” diseases.
The Fund is to be implemented in partnership with the Asian Development Bank (ADB), the World Bank and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).
