The COVID-19 pandemic has brought this fast-moving world to a standstill and colossally impacted almost all aspects in everyone’s life. COVID-19 pandemic has strongly depicted the need for improvisation of health infrastructure and services adapting to the best practices in the health sector to address and overcome the unprecedented challenges due to the high incidence of such global pandemics.

We are celebrating the 75^th year of our Independence. Over these seven and half decades, various health indicators have improved considerably in the country. Life expectancy at birth has increased, infant and maternal mortality have immensely reduced and many deadly diseases such as smallpox and polio have been completely eradicated.

However, still India has a low doctor to population ratio, at 1:1,511 against the WHO norm of 1:1,000. Also, lack of trained medical personnel, shortage and affordable cost of medicines, relatively few numbers of quality hospitals and Inadequate infrastructure, health insurance coverage, limited access to health facilities, lack of awareness regarding hygiene are the key challenges to provide quality healthcare in India.
