Authorities must resist shutting down hospitals with infected staff because each bed and healthcare worker is an essential resource in India’s battle against the pandemic.
Manufacturers in Tirupur say this not just an opportunity to help out right now, but has also opened the industry’s eyes to making technical textiles in future.
In a letter sent to all state chief secretaries, Railway Board Chairman Vinod Kumar Yadav has asked them to provide security to parcel trains during unloading of goods.
A credible industrial response during the coronavirus lockdown will translate into better provisioning for India’s overall healthcare sector in future.
RJD, once a prominent representative of Mandal politics, now finds itself in a political era where welfare, good governance, and new aspirations are overshadowing old caste equations.
Without a Congress revival, there can be no challenge to the BJP pan-nationally. Modi’s party is growing, and almost entirely at the cost of the Congress.
LOL. It is a Joke if doctors and hospitals want guidelines on what to do from government. This is nothing but a rinse and repeat article aimed at govt bashing to cover up their good up.
In the absence of adequate PPE and N95 masks Eye cate caps for Medical staff actively engaged in Covid 19 infected patients , the availabilty if these Vital inadequatele available but essential gear MUST be limited to actively treating infected patients only. Any other person NOT connected but found using these MUST be booked by law or amend one.
All personnel actively engaged in the treatment must be kept uo todate with protocols evolving on a daily basis by a responsible supervisor. There must be a local, then regional next district, then state then nation wide data of treatment plan, its efficacy its drawbacks, assessed and a common nation wide plan of handling various stages of and modalities of recieving, initiation and maintenance of treatment plan , and procurement of additional equipment, (ventilators and Hyperbaric O2 chambers, physiotherapy paraphernalia), Medication, positioning In short a National Consesus of standardised treatment. A weekly review of all staff, doctors and nurses, ambulance services in bringing in and taking a recovering patient to isolation abd even home. Uniform Standardised Upgradable plans must be the National norm The Virus is NOT area specific as of now so that a standardised protocol in place would permit even smaller hospitals to initiate treatment sparing larger ones purely for tertiary care.
Wockhardt has totally mismanaged itself and got into trouble. Being in a senior leadership instead of fixing problems internally, this doctor is trying to blame others. And also asking for Govt dole (public money) to fund private hospitals. During COVID times, it is mostly Govt hospitals and staff who are on the front lines. Wockhardt ignorant or careless staff got into trouble by not following protocols and spread it to all others.
How come the ” Professional Incompetence ” of doctors and health workers is not a reason behind the High infection rate of hospital staff???
You have blamed everyone under the sun except the people who knowing there is a pandemic worldwide, were reckless in examination of patients and contracted coronavirus due to low standards of professional competency – yet you blame the Govt and ICMR ??
Whether or not it is stage 3 or stage 2 – basic precaution and common sense is the same while examination of patients. This classification is meaningless in the practise of medicine. Further, the reuse of PPEs being blamed is yet another lousy argument – worldwide there is a PPE shortage, even in the US doctors are reusing not just PPEs but even respirators and using surgical masks instead of respirators!
This article is not just medically ignorant it is also a scapegoating rant for attention. Instead of asking the medical fraternity to rise to the challenge, we see these kinds of articles blaming PPEs, local administration and even ridiculously the ICMRs “classification” of the epidemic or lack of “protocols” – as if Pvt. Hospitals follow Govt protocols in the first place?
This doctor is like a kirana shop owner crying his shop is forced to close during panic buying…this is not about saving lives by saving his and private hospitals livelyhood!

I agree with the doctor. Hospitals are scarce resources in India and all efforts should be made to keep them operational in this crisis ridden moment
