We are so proud of India's emerging economy. We want to be in the same playing field as the big boys ,look at NSG, BRICS,
But are we really in that field or still stuck in that old and forgotten field of developing countries .
when looking at the rampant infectious disease epidemics resurgence in Urban and rural India I doubt we are in the same field as the big boys.
let us rebuild the public health infrastructure which has fallen in to disuse due to neglect corruption and sheer apathy and laziness of us Indians
All countries in the WHO South-East Asia region introduced measles vaccine in their immunization programs during the 1980s. Subsequent to the global measles elimination initiative, the reported immunization coverage increased in the region from 1999 to 2005 http://jidoxfordjournals.org/content/204/suppl_1/S421.full#ref-3"
As a consequence, the estimated number of cases decreased by 27% from1999 to 2005 But are we really in that field or still stuck in that old and forgotten field of developing countries .

Four countries in the region have already initiated surveillance for measles elimination. However, India, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Timor Leste, and Nepal still face challenges in measles control. In 2005, in these countries, the reported coverage ranged between 48%–81% and the annual incidence was .15–2.7 cases per million people, respectively
