Abstract
How are we managing the Pandemic of SARS CoV-2? A hundred years down the lane after Spanish Flu, we see almost 114,315,846 confirmed cases of COVID-19 worldwide including 2,539,427 deaths(1). Acute illness of a few, scare among a much larger few and death of relatively few- data as we see it. Lockdowns- social / physical distancing hows the journey going? People are recovering, jobs lost are recuperating, manufacturing sector on the verge, economies are catching up and a lot more in every arena but what about the healthcare administration?The scare having faded out the next challenge is of vaccine! How have we dealt with the cases, how good, how efficient and how effective? At the turn of millennium, the scar on healthcare system has a potential. This research proposal aims to analyse the way the Indian healthcare system responded to the rising patient load and managed to contain the surge successfully. What are the takeaways and derive conclusions to guide the world forum on scenarios similar or grave. (1) WHO data on pandemic load.
