- KAVITA BAJELI-DATT @ New Delhi

India's task force plans to implement a national brain health programme by scaling up the Karnataka Brain Health Initiative (KaBHI), a comprehensive and collaborative public health programme aimed at reducing the burden of neurological disorders across Karnataka, according to the World Health Organisation (WHO) report.

Highlighting KaBHI as a catalysing policy prioritisation for brain health and neurological disorders in India, the report released on Tuesday said, "By uniting key stakeholders and sectors around a needs-based, evidence-informed, integrated approach to neurological disorders, KaBHI has paved the way for policy prioritisation of brain health in India."
