Covid, Health Literacy and Healthcare
Sandeep Jauhar, Chandrakant Lahariya and Barkha Dutt in conversation with Ambarish Satwik, introduced by Preetha Rajaraman, Health Attaché, U.S. Embassy India

Presented by Embassy of the United States of America in India

One of the lessons of the pandemic is that access to correct information is imperative. With misinformation, blatant propaganda, and faulty forwards from ‘Whatsapp University’ floating around, we are combating not only a deadly virus, but a deadly mindset. This panel will discuss pertinent dimensions of the pandemic, health literacy, and elements of physical, medical and mental stability.

Barkha Dutt is an award-winning TV journalist, anchor and columnist. She is India’s only Emmy-nominated journalist who has won multiple national and international awards, including the prestigious Padma Shri. Dutt has reported from some of the toughest spots and conflict zones in India and across the world, and her frontline reporting of the Kargil war first made her a household name.
