💨 Abstract

The Punjab Health and Family Welfare department has signed an MoU with the National Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) to establish a state branch in Amritsar district. This move aims to bolster public health infrastructure, improve disease surveillance, outbreak investigation, and rapid response to contain outbreaks. The partnership aligns with Punjab's 'Sehat Kranti' initiative and is a response to the increase in population and emerging communicable diseases.
