    4. AI-Driven Healthcare:<\/strong> Big data analytics applied to large Indian datasets can create locally relevant diagnostic and treatment algorithms.<\/li>\n
    5. Community Involvement:<\/strong> Digital platforms can crowdsource surveillance data during outbreaks and gather feedback on program implementation.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      What challenges do climate and zoonotic diseases pose?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
        \n
      1. Climate Change:<\/strong> Rising temperatures and extreme weather increase water-borne diseases and give rise to vector-borne diseases.<\/li>\n
      2. Zoonotic Diseases:<\/strong> These diseases, spread between animals and humans, can cause national outbreaks or global pandemics.<\/li>\n
      3. Surveillance Gaps:<\/strong> Current systems lack real-time zoonotic data across humans, wildlife, and veterinary populations.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Conclusion <\/strong><\/h2>\n

        In conclusion, India\u2019s path to becoming a developed nation by 2047 depends on a robust health system. By prioritizing universal health coverage, improving digital health integration, and addressing emerging health threats like NCDs and zoonotic diseases, India can ensure a healthy population.
