PrefaceThe world has witnessed unprecedented pandemic-led impacts that have challenged the health systems as well as the economic and social sectors. The COVID -19 pandemic has demonstrated the interlinked nature of development and, at the same time, reiterated the need for an integrated response to developmental challenges. There have been challenges to the progress on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) worldwide, and India is no exception. Today, a framework like the SDGs assumes much more importance. Focus on interconnectedness, leaving no one behind, and universality, as encapsulated in the SDG framework, is needed much more than ever before.
These wide-ranging strides towards achieving the SDGs have been championed by private and corporate commitments through corporate social responsibility (CSR) and to environmental, social and governance (ESG) practices. The private sector and corporations not only have a clear vested interest in achieving these goals and the wherewithal to do so but they are also increasingly becoming intersections of global governance, policy, and development. These private entities are, essentially, a new class of diplomat. Nims University Rajasthan, Jaipur being a leader in healthcare education focuses on impact of Infectious Diseases and emerging infectious diseases like COVID-19 which continues to pose substantial health and economic burdens worldwide.
We at Nims also focus on non-communicable diseases eg CVS, Cancer, Diabetes. Maternal and Child Health, Access to healthcare, Health inequalities, Antimicrobial Resistance, Global health emergencies, Environmental health, Health system strengthening, Health information systems etc.
