[Indu Bhushan @ibhushan]

The most incredible experience of my career of ~4 decades comes to an end today. Bidding adieu to @AyushmanNHA as CEO but gaining an entire family. I had the absolute honour of building & implementing #AyushmanBharat & #NDHM. Thank you Hon. PM @narendramodi for the opportunity.

[Indu Bhushan @ibhushan]

Delighted to take on this role with NCAER’s Centre for Health Economics. I look forward to working with the team to strengthen evidence-based health policy and contribute to a more equitable, efficient and sustainable health system for India.

Lancet study finds positive impact of government-funded health insurance #PMJAY on the timely access to cancer treatment in India. Great to see more evidence coming to show impact of such programs. @AyushmanNHA @kchalkidou @glassmanamanda @AwadMataria @ibhushan @ADB_HQ @ADB_INRM

We had expected that with TATA taking over @airindia the service would improve. Just the reverse seems to have happened. They lost my luggage in direct flight from Del to Udr! No info about where the luggage is, when it will be delivered. None of the numbers respond! @DGCAIndia

@airindia 👍

[Indu Bhushan @ibhushan]

I wonder why Air India treats its clients so shabbily and makes them wait in the airbridge for a long time when the airplane is not ready to board. Shouldn’t they let them wait with dignity in the departure area? @MoCA_India, @airindia @DGCAIndia @PMOIndia

[Indu Bhushan @ibhushan]

@airindia AI2706 from Kol to Del. Started boarding even when the cabin was not ready to take in the passengers and made them wait in the aero bridge for about 20 min.

I am hoping that the Fund will catalyse the needed policy response to this huge but highly under-recognised public health challenge which is compromising my the future of our children.

[Santosh Harish @santoshharish1]

Delighted that the Lead Exposure Action Fund is now formally launched. I feel incredibly lucky to be working on this important and deeply neglected issue at this particular moment!

Lead poisoning remains a critical yet under-recognized health crisis, often overlooked in policy discussions despite its widespread impact. In my op-ed in Hindustan Times, I shed light on this invisible epidemic. https://t.co/B9flmt0ckp @JPNadda @PahleIndia @UNICEF @USAID

[Indu Bhushan @ibhushan]

My article in Hindustan Times argues for promoting innovations to improve health outcomes and tunnel through traditional constraints in providing health services. Innovations play a pivotal role in bridging supply gaps, and enhancing quality and efficiency.https://t.co/X7SgRCTvmw

I learned a lot from this excellent discussion w/ @rsilv_dc @GawandeUSAID @ibhushan @ValerieMHickey. I came away with renewed purpose in prioritizing the lead agenda @ADB_HQ, building on fantastic work that @ADBChiefEcon has been doing. Thanks to my friends @CGDev for hosting!
