Covid19 Epidemic and The Crippled Healthcare System in India

As per a recent study by the Center for Disease Dynamics, Economics & Policy (India) and Princeton University...India has approximately 19 lakh hospital beds, 95,000 ICU beds, and 48,000 ventilators. With India registering the highest single-day spike of 9,987 COVID-19 cases in the last 24 hours, the country has now stacked up over 1.3 lakh active COVID-19 cases, with deaths inching towards the 7,500-mark. The COVID-19 curve shows little or no sign of flattening and epidemiologists are predicting that the peak of the pandemic in India is yet to come. With the world’s most stringent lockdown now opening up, India has emerged as the fifth worst-affected nation globally, after the US, Brazil, Russia, and the UK. Against these daunting statistics, and with the fragile healthcare system in India already pushed to the brink, we see how India’s healthcare system stacks.
