BIMSTEC health ministers adopted a revised public health action plan for 2026–30 and unanimously agreed on a joint statement at their first ministerial meeting in Colombo on November 11. The statement sets out commitments on access to healthcare and cooperation on regional health security, according to the Indian Health Ministry’s release through the Press Information Bureau.
The ministers agreed to hold ministerial and senior officials’ meetings every two years. They welcomed Thailand’s offer to host the second ministerial meeting in 2028.
Separately, India and Sri Lanka exchanged a memorandum for the supply of 100 additional ambulances to Sri Lanka’s Suwa Seriya emergency service. The Indian ministry said the agreement would be supported by an Indian grant of about US$5.28 million.
