The New Indian Express Thrissur
|October 16, 2025
INDIA has established a National Task Force on Brain Health, with the aim to improve the accessibility and quality of brain healthcare at primary, secondary, and tertiary levels, according to the WHO's new global status report on neurology.
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."
