India will take part in the Global Health Summit which is being co-hosted by Italy as the Chair of the G20 grouping this year and the European Commission. The key outcome of the Global health meet will be the "Rome Declaration" which will focus on lessons learned from the COVID-19 pandemic. Last year G20 grouping had announced a number of coordinated measures to deal with the pandemic, including the economic fallout. Ahead of the summit, Prime Minister of Italy, Mario Draghi, said that the summit "will provide a timely opportunity to share the lessons learned during the COVID-19 pandemic. We will discuss how to improve health security, strengthen our health systems and enhance our ability to deal with future crises in a spirit of solidarity."
