In the third episode of our five part series in association with Mobile Creches, we bring to you a conversation about the reforms that are needed in order to make the Right to care a universal right.

In this conversation, Niharika Nanda is joined by Dr. Soumya Swaminathan, the Principal Adviser at the Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare for the National Tuberculosis Elimination Program. She was the Former Director General of Indian Council of Medical Research and a Chief Scientist at WHO. She is also the chair of the M.S. Swaminathan Research Foundation.

Dr. Soumya shares how we need to provide care and holistic development to children during the age of 0-6 years to provide a foundation for better emotional and physical growth that in the long-term makes them better contributors to economic growth.
