Abstract

Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by SARS-CoV-2 (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome - Coronavirus-2) which appeared in China in December 2019 has involved every continent on Earth, even Antarctica, in less than a year. In this period it has caused untold havoc on the entire healthcare system worldwide. We are facing challenges on multiple fronts like densely populated cities, overcrowded public transport system, lack of awareness about the disease dynamics and importance of personal hygiene in a pandemic situation, and most importantly a strained economy. But the silver lining is a predominantly young population in whom the case fatality is low. The crisis has provided us with an opportunity to assess our shortcomings and revamp the healthcare delivery and medical education of our country.

Keywords: Covid19, Pandemic, Healthcare, Teaching, Administration, Surgery.
