Covid Pandemic (Dr. Vidya V Bhat’s comment)

“The ongoing Covid pandemic has highlighted the importance of providing equitable access to high-quality healthcare services for all sections of the society. This is critical to improve disease outcomes, reduce the negative impact of health disorders and pandemics on people’s lives, and build a fairer, healthier world.”

“India has managed the Covid pandemic very well so far, despite having the world’s second-largest population which faces huge challenges in terms of accessibility and affordability of modern healthcare. I believe India has reached herd immunity in the last 3 to 4 months which led to a decline in Covid cases. The new strains of Coronavirus have now triggered a second wave of Covid. We should not let our guard down and take precautions. Accelerating the Covid vaccination program is the need of the hour rather than the current slow-and-steady approach.”
