Challenges in the Post-Covid Healthcare Sector:
The pandemic has exposed several challenges in India's healthcare sector, exacerbating existing issues and unveiling new ones.
● Overburdened Healthcare Infrastructure: The sudden surge in Covid-19 cases put immense pressure on India's healthcare infrastructure, revealing its limitations. Hospitals faced shortages of beds, medical equipment, and skilled healthcare professionals, leading to compromised healthcare delivery.
● Inadequate Preparedness and Response Systems: The pandemic highlighted the need for robust preparedness and response systems. India's initial response faced challenges in terms of testing capacity, contact tracing, and the availability of personal protective equipment (PPE). Strengthening these systems is crucial to effectively manage future health crises.
● Digital Divide and Healthcare Access: The pandemic accentuated the digital divide in India, hindering access to telemedicine and online healthcare services, particularly for rural and economically disadvantaged populations. Addressing this divide is vital to ensure equitable access to healthcare services.
