Healthcare sector still ill-prepared for a larger outbreak
According to experts, should we see any significant surge in Covid-19—or anything close to the situation in India—our healthcare sector will not be able to cope with it. Despite more than a year having passed since the pandemic began, why is our healthcare sector still not in a position to manage any large-scale spread of Covid-19? When thousands of people in the country have been infected and/or died from the disease, shouldn't the government have prioritised preparing the healthcare sector to handle a bigger crisis much better by now?
