Covid-19 should lead to more investment in health | Opinion

Hindustan Times  

The coronavirus pandemic has exposed the new nature of health threats and emergencies, linked to food systems, human-wildlife and anthropogenic conflicts, and the dynamics of globalisation. We require state-level task forces that represent not just administrators and doctors but that engage wider civil society to address some of long-term effects of Covid-19 On March 25, despite fewer notified cases compared to other countries, India initiated a 21-day national lockdown, adopting social distancing and citizen isolation, state border closures and a call to action for low-cost innovations to support the government through this crisis. Despite instituting one of the earliest architectures of rural primary care, the Indian public health system is struggling to comprehend the challenges that Covid-19 has brought with it. The fight against Covid-19 cannot be won without the active involvement of the private sector and other health care providers who can play an important role in identifying potential cases and ensuring early quarantines. Covid-19 presents an opportunity to bolster India’s health system, sustain investment in technology and reorient budgeting priorities towards what is truly essential — our health.
