The heads of the BRICS nations convened in New Delhi and released a joint declaration urging deeper collaboration on disease surveillance and the regulation of medical products. The New Delhi Declaration highlighted the need to bolster health infrastructure and expand domestic manufacturing of medical supplies across the bloc.
Representatives from Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa affirmed their commitment to improve preparedness for future health emergencies. The leaders agreed to coordinate efforts to make healthcare services, vaccines, therapeutics and diagnostics more timely, affordable and equitable for their populations.
The move builds on previous BRICS health initiatives aimed at sharing expertise and resources to tackle cross‑border health threats. By focusing on local production and regulatory harmonisation, the member states hope to reduce dependence on external suppliers and strengthen global health security.
