Gaps in Treatment of Non COVID Patient during COVID-19 Pandemic in India: A Review
Supriya Das
Abstract: Non Covid patient have had challenges of getting medical treatment during this pandemic situation. In the country maximum number of OPDs, clinics, diagnostic centers, operation theaters are shut down, as a result non Covid acute and chronic patients are not getting the treatment immediately. Fear of catching infection from new patients many hospitals is not taking admission without doing Covid test. Now getting a Covid test done is another difficult task because the result and reports are available at least 24-48 hours later. Sometimes patients also hesitate to seek treatment to the hospital for fear of getting infected with corona virus. Due to these gaps we are observing, quite a high number of patients with Stroke, Heart attack, gastro, diabetic and orthopedic emergencies are getting delayed intervention and recovery. As a result it leads to disability or death.
