A new community-based survey conducted by the George Institute in collaboration with the Child in Need Institute (CINI) highlights that there are nearly 3 drowning deaths among children 1-9 years every day in the Sundarbans. Interventions keeping children in safe spaces away from water are urgently required if we are to protect our children from these avoidable deaths.

With the anticipated increase in the number of COVID-19 cases in India, there is a need for a coordinated effort by public health organizations and the professional societies to ensure adequate delivery of intensive care to critically ill COVID-19 patients.

The George Institute India and the UNSW Founders based at the University of New South Wales in Australia are organizing a three-day virtual intensive health acceleration programme for health start-ups with the common goal of strengthening health services delivery by leveraging technology and innovations to address the burden of non-communicable diseases.
