Abstract The world is confronted by the current pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), which is a common threat to the whole of humanity. In the process of fighting COVID-19 domestically, China had attached great importance to international cooperation, such as the sharing of information on the pandemic with the international community, providing bilateral and multilateral assistance to other affected countries, etc. However, due to the severity of this pandemic, global solidarity is necessary to conquer it, and to improve global public health governance.

Multisectoral governance, one of many terms used to describe collaborative, cross-boundary approaches to solving complex public problems, is being applied broadly in several policy arenas, most notably in environmental and natural resource management, but increasingly in public health in multiple settings and scales around the globe. This paper explores how to transfer knowledge about collaborative governance to challenging public health settings found in low-income and moderate-income countries (LMICs). This paper presents a general background on collaborative governance, summarises some relevant empirical findings on the performance of collaborative governance and lays out some of the challenges and considerations for thinking about improving collaborative public health governance in LMICs.

The need for a National Public Health Agency in India is of crucial relevance today. Along with a responsive public health system, we need to focus on preventive healthcare and the promotion of healthy lifestyles. The country, as it marks its 75th year of Independence, must remember that it is essential to bring in structural change for effective public health governance.

Covid-19 confirmed idiocy of intelligence and perils of powers exasperating the governance ethics of globe and castrated canons of human values. Corona blasted derisively the tenacity and techniques of 'Corona meter' in recording the victimization of health, wealth, economy, environment, education, and governance genuflection before the virility and victory of undaunted virus of SARS genesis. Learned gentry captioned the proliferation of Corona virus as 'Pandemic' of course with doubtful accuracy. The reference of pandemic as a term could have been justified in earlier historical cases of influenza, plague, ebola and SARs etc gracing the meaning of “a set of mutually exacerbating catastrophes” (referring to 1918 Influenza episode) but the present global Corona death dance devastating the material and mental health of individuals, institutions and society needs, probably, a better and appropriate word or phrase. Surprisingly, even before the blink of an eye, health crisis is transformed into multiple conundrums – economic, research, medical, political and governance mocking at all public and private institutions.

The Covid-19 pandemic is both a public health crisis and a stress test for global health governance. Effective health governance hinges on the provision of global public goods for health. Generally, the hegemon underwrites the operation and stability of the global public health architecture by ensuring the sustained supply of global public goods for health. But when the hegemon is unable or unwilling to shoulder this responsibility, global health governance may run the risk of falling into a Kindleberger Trap. The leadership vacuum that is opening up amid the coronavirus pandemic is accelerating the process. At present, China should adopt a three-pronged approach to promote bilateral health cooperation with leading countries like the United States, strengthen regional institution-building with ASEAN, South Korea, Japan, and Belt and Road countries, and improve the performance, credibility, and integrity of global organizations like the WHO and G-20. The Kindleberger Trap in global health governance can be overcome by adapting regional health coordination to make it more agile and effective.
