Only then can we remain in good health.
तभी हम स्वस्थ रह सकते है। ( Normal sense )

We can remain in good health.
हम स्वस्थ रह सकते है। ( Normal sense )
But :-
क्या हम स्वस्थ रह सकते है ? ( Interrogative sense )
Can we remain in good health.
And :-
Only then - “can we remain in good health”.  (But the sentence have normal sense)
—It feels like interrogative sense.

Okay


We can remain in good health.
हम स्वस्थ रह सकते है। ( Normal sense )
Okay

But :-
क्या हम स्वस्थ रह सकते है ? ( Interrogative sense )
Can we remain in good health ?
Question mark has been added by me. Otherwise it is okay.

And :-
Only then - “can we remain in good health”.  (But the sentence have normal sense)
—It feels like interrogative sense.

I have not understood what you want to say.
It does not appear to be interrogative to me.
But the statement “Only then can we remain in good health” is okay.
