    Dr Rannan-Eliya was interviewed by the Hindu newspaper whilst in Delhi, and he commented on the similarities between recent successful health policy innovations in Tamil Nadu and long-established policies in Sri Lanka, which provide important evidence of the relevance of Sri Lanka's historical experience to the Indian context, as well as the feasibility of replicating many of Sri Lanka's policies in India.
