The proposal, which aims to make the resources available to all who need them at affordable rates, has also been supported by the World Health Organization (WHO). The US election outcome is not likely to impact the ongoing momentum on health cooperation between the two countries, given the enduring and institutionalized nature of ties between the US and India, healthcare experts in India said.
