The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted the global development community and the global health. Small-scale organizations which were not as acknowledged are now being trusted with safeguarding livelihoods, supporting people with healthcare. The pandemic had caused havoc amidst the people which had reached its peak during the rise of the second-wave. However, with the gradual decline in the number of cases people seem to have returned back to their normal lives but there is still some fear amongst the people who have been affected by the pandemic. The precautionary measures are still being followed by most but not as effectively as earlier. The pandemic has reminded people about the contribution and sacrifices that the doctors have made. Considering the losses, there has been violence witnessed against the doctors.
KK Gupta, Vice Chairman JIMSH and BBIT said “The pandemic has been a tough time for everyone, but the healthcare workers have worked tirelessly irrespective of the odds. The post-pandemic situation has seen a relative increase in cases like cardiac-arrest and asthma while there are ongoing practices to curb it to the least. We can hope that better days are ahead and that people acknowledge the efforts, sacrifices and risks that they had taken during the critical time.”
