While the entire world is on halt due to the Covid-19 pandemic, these healthcare warriors are among those true fighters who are battling in one of the worst pandemic in history and saving our lives for years. Since the beginning of 2020, we have seen the Covid-19 outbreak, which soon turned into a pandemic and is still affecting people all over the world. Every country in the world is facing challenges and finding new ways to deal with one of the worst pandemic in history.
While there are many countries that have been traumatized due to the excessive spread of COVID-19, there are a few countries that have been successful in containing the corona virus. And, the credit for controlling the disease and restoring the country’s economy goes to the medical staffs, army of doctors and other health care warriors around the world. Hence, we should wholeheartedly dedicate this year of 2020 to our true Avengers. Our healthcare warriors who are protecting us from this fatal disease and saving millions of lives across the globe.
These healthcare warriors have been working day and night to save the lives of millions of citizens in their respective countries. They are working 24×7 without caring about their personal livelihoods and even their own life. COVID-19 is as severe and life-threatening disease for doctors and other medical professionals as it for any other human being.
The risk of getting exposed to this deadly virus is even more for health care professionals as compared to people in any other profession. Still, they are risking their lives and working in the challenging circumstances for months with limited sleeping hours and loads of work pressure.
When it comes to wearing a mask just for half an hour or so, to safe our own life, we feel it is a burden. Our doctors, nurses and other medical health care professionals are serving us for more than 15 hours a day – sometimes going beyond than that. Being trapped in the Personal Protective Equipment (PPE kits) for these many hours, treating patients with deadly Covid-19
virus and attending emergency cases is quite difficult. Knowing there is no margin for error as it is a matter of someone’s life and death, makes it an even more challenging task. The risk is not limited to our health care professionals but also their families and friends. Our health care warriors are selflessly protecting us and endangering their lives, along with the lives of everyone associated with them for us.
We must acknowledge their sacrifice and understand the kind of pressure they have been going through during this pandemic. Many of the health care professions are not meeting their families for days and weeks and are working in extreme conditions relentlessly. Tons of doctors, nurses and other associated medical staffs have lost their lives while treating corona
virus patients across the world. This is the most exhausting and challenging time for the medical health care professions and the medical healthcare system as well.
Today, the health care professionals including, doctors, surgeons, nurses, and other allied members of the hospitals are our frontline soldiers equipped with PPE kits, are burning the midnight oil to save countless lives. The intensity with which the corona virus has spread everywhere during the past few months shook the world. However, it has changed the whole dynamics of the medical health care system across the globe.
How Did the Corona Virus Pandemic Change the Medical Health Care System?
We have seen that the corona virus pandemic has completely changed the outlook of the medical health care system and other associated sectors. During this crucial time of COVID-19 pandemic where the virus has affected the lives of millions of people around the world, we have seen how our medical health care experts and researchers have broken many barriers to pursue an answer hoping to stop one of the worst pandemic in history. We have seen how these experts dealt with the novel corona virus i.e. SARS-CoV-2 virus in record time.
We have never experienced the rapid growth in developing diagnostic kits or initiating clinical trials too fast before the existence of corona virus pandemic. In just a few months, we have seen our experts have researched and conducted a number of clinical and
vaccine trials in such a short time.
On April 11, 2020, we have formed a collaborative organisation called the Global Indian Physicians COVID-19 Collaborative to bring all the Indian physicians from 45 countries together at one platform. The Global Indian Physicians COVID-19 Collaborativ was established in association with The Global Association of Physicians of Indian Origin (GAPIO), Canadian Association of Physicians of Indian Heritage (CAPIH), the British Association of Physicians of
Indian Origin (BAPIO), the American Association of Physicians of Indian Origin (AAPI) and Canadian Indian Network Society (CINS).
How Can We Get Better to Handle the Corona Virus Pandemic?
Today, we need to come together and fight the corona virus pandemic as one unit. The establishment of the Global Indian Physicians COVID-19 Collaborative has provided a good platform for doctors and surgeons and other medical staffs to have a brainstorm, share ideas, and cooperate with other countries to use each other’s resources and come up with the best possible ways to defeat corona virus. And, in the process of fighting the corona virus, we must not forget to provide our health care warriors with everything to support them.
Our health care warriors are facing a huge challenge of not getting sufficient supplies of the essential safety equipment, especially the Personal Protective Equipment (PPE kits). In many countries like France and Italy, we have the inadequacy of surgical masks. In poorer countries, the situation is even worse.
Even after facing such life-threatening problems, our health care warriors are putting their lives in danger and treating corona virus patients. The physical, emotional and mental stress on the health care professionals is the same as soldiers face during the war.
Losing patients even after giving their best to save them leaves a mark on the mental health of the doctors. After all, doctors, surgeons and other medical staff members are also human beings. Every time when a patient loses their life even after doctors putting their best efforts to save them, it shakes the doctors. Other than that, they too have families to take care of.
However, due to the excessive pressure and work load, our health care warriors are not able to meet their families, kids, spouses and parents for weeks.
Corona virus might not last forever, however, the heroism and dedication these health care warriors are showing will definitely last forever. Hence, let us take a pledge today to support the health care professionals in any way possible.
