The Impact of COVID-19 on Healthcare Systems

Written by Dev

The COVID-19 pandemic hit healthcare systems worldwide, exposing serious weaknesses and forcing rapid changes. Hospitals were overwhelmed with patients, leading to shortages of beds, oxygen, and protective gear. In places like India, where the healthcare system was already under pressure, these shortages were especially severe, with many patients struggling to get care.

As hospitals focused on treating COVID-19, many regular services like surgeries, cancer treatments, and vaccinations were delayed or canceled. This led to other health issues, like an increase in maternal and child deaths due to lack of access to basic care. For children, interrupted vaccination programs risked future outbreaks of preventable diseases, making this health crisis even worse in the long run. Additionally, multiple countries lacked the proper monetary resources and funding to effectively handle this disaster, aggravating the strain on resources, since the ones that were able to receive healthcare were receiving the same in poor quality, leading to occasional incomplete treatments of the same.

Since all medical resources went towards Covid-19 patients, there was a strain on treating other diseases like Cancer, multiple STDs, etc. Additionally, the lockdown also prevented routine check-ups, leading to a surge in patients with worsening conditions, not necessarily involved with Covid-19. The frequent postponing of health check-ups caused multiple disadvantages, and is a variable that could have lessened the load on the healthcare system.

The pandemic also triggered a disturbing rise in attacks on healthcare workers. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), healthcare staff worldwide faced violence, abuse, and stigma. In many cases, healthcare workers were wrongly seen as “spreaders” of COVID-19, leading to harassment and even physical assault. This fear and misinformation affected not only healthcare workers’ safety but also made it harder to provide medical care.

Mental health issues increased during the pandemic too. Many healthcare workers struggled with stress, burnout, and trauma due to high patient death rates and long hours. The importance for mental health was severely underscored during the time of the pandemic, considering extreme levels of anxiety between not only patients but also regular people. People outside the healthcare field also faced mental health challenges from lockdowns, isolation, and fear of infection. With demand for mental health services rising, healthcare systems struggled to keep up. Health scares combined with break in routine spread widespread paranoia within the people.

However, the crisis did lead to some useful changes, like the growth of telemedicine, which allowed patients to talk to doctors remotely. This made it easier for people to get healthcare without leaving their homes and helped hospitals reduce patient crowding. Many healthcare providers also set up drive-through testing and vaccination centers to make these services more accessible. These new methods of delivering healthcare might continue to improve access even after the pandemic.

Additionally, it introduced newever, more enhanced protocols when faced with death or serious situations, which only improved time and response of healthcare systems. The anxiety and mental stress caused by the pandemic also increased the availability of mental health resources and help to people, a part that helped reduced the stigma surrounding mental health.

COVID-19 has shown that healthcare systems need to be stronger and more flexible to handle future crises. Governments and healthcare leaders are encouraged to invest more in public health, improve safety protections for healthcare workers, and support mental health resources. By learning from COVID-19, healthcare systems can better protect both patients and providers when the next crisis comes.

India was able to save more than 3.4 million lives by undertaking a nationwide Covid-19 vaccination campaign at an unprecedented scale, according to a Stanford University report.

The campaign also yielded a positive economic impact by preventing a loss of $18.3 billion, the working paper by Stanford University and Institute for Competitiveness titled 'Healing the Economy: Estimating the Economic Impact on India's Vaccination and Related Issues' released by Union health minister Mansukh Mandaviya on Friday suggested.

According to the Stanford report, the direct and total impact of vaccination varied from about $ 1.03 billion to $ 2.58 billion if minimum wages are considered within the age distribution category.

“The same, however, varied from about $3.49 billion to $ 8.7 billion if GDP per person employed (constant) is considered. The cumulative lifetime earnings of the lives saved through vaccination (in the working age group) rolled up to $ 21.5 billion. Moreover, since vaccination also saved the lives of the elderly, this indirectly helped prevent the health infrastructure from getting overwhelmed and thereby allowing for a more judicious use of the existing health infrastructure,” the report suggested.

Mandaviya said much before Covid-19 was declared a public health emergency by the World Health Organisation (WHO) in January 2020, processes and structures to focus dedicatedly on various facets of the pandemic management were put in place...

The Stanford working paper refers to a Lancet modelling study which estimated that in India around 3.4 million deaths were prevented by vaccination in the year 2021, an estimate based on officially reported deaths in India.

The paper also highlighted the impact of the lockdown and referred to the health ministry’s statistical analysis that the Covid-19 tally could have reached about two lakh (0.2 million) without lockdown by April 11, 2020.

Due to lockdown measures, the actual cases only went up to about 7,500 by April 11, 2020, making a case for the lockdown stronger."

Is the UN Against India? Let's Talk About It

Ever feel like the United Nations (UN) is always on India's case? From Kashmir to human rights reports, it sometimes feels like the UN leans a little too hard in directions that don't favor India. But is that really the full picture, or are we missing some key details?

Let's break it down.

Why Does It Feel Like the UN is Anti-India?

Honestly, this belief has roots in some pretty big historical moments and ongoing global politics. Here’s what’s driving that perception:

1. The Kashmir Saga – A Never-Ending Story

Kashmir is the centerpiece of India’s complicated relationship with the UN. Back in 1947, when India and Pakistan were newly independent, they went to war over Jammu and Kashmir. India went to the UN for help, and the Security Council passed Resolution 47, suggesting that the people of Kashmir should vote on their future. Sounds simple, right?

Well, it didn’t happen. Why? Pakistan was supposed to withdraw its troops first – and didn’t. India argues that this failure invalidated the resolution, but Pakistan (and often China) keeps bringing Kashmir up at the UN. For India, this feels like the world keeps reopening an old wound that should be settled directly between India and Pakistan.

2. UN Reports That Rub India the Wrong Way

In 2018 and 2019, the UN published reports criticizing India’s actions in Kashmir, highlighting alleged human rights violations. India was quick to clap back, calling these reports "biased" and ignoring the role of terrorism from across the border.

For many Indians, these reports seem to skip over Pakistan’s part in the conflict, adding to the feeling that the UN’s focus isn’t always balanced.

But Wait – India’s Big Contributions to the UN

For all the friction, India is actually a major player in the UN. From peacekeeping missions to sustainable development, India puts in the work. Here’s the side that often gets overlooked:

1. India – The Peacekeeping MVP

India has been a UN peacekeeping giant. Over 260,000 Indian troops have served in 49 missions since 1948. As of now, more than 5,500 Indian personnel are stationed worldwide.

Fun fact (but also a sad one) – India has lost 175 peacekeepers in these missions, the highest of any country. That’s a serious commitment to global peace.

2. Pushing for a Better Planet

India isn’t just about military support. The country is leading the way in sustainable development. The Saubhagya scheme, which electrified 28.6 million households, directly supports UN goals for clean energy.

India also co-founded the International Solar Alliance (ISA), pulling together over 110 countries to push for solar power and combat climate change.

3. Vaccine Maitri – Helping the World Heal

Remember when India sent COVID-19 vaccines to over 100 countries? That was part of India’s "Vaccine Maitri" initiative, aligning with UN goals to promote global health.

The Big Dream – A Permanent Seat at the UNSC

India’s been knocking on the door of the UN Security Council (UNSC) for years, pushing for a permanent seat. And let’s be real – India’s got a strong case:

World’s most populous country (yes, we overtook China!).

Fifth-largest economy by GDP.

A leader in peacekeeping and global development.

The main blocker? China. While the US, France, and Russia are generally supportive, China continues to stand in the way, making India’s path to permanent UNSC membership tricky.

Notable Wins for India at the UN

It’s not all resistance. India has scored some major victories at the UN:

2019: Pakistan-based terrorist Masood Azhar was listed as a global terrorist – a big win for India.

2022-23: India chaired the UN Counter-Terrorism Committee, reflecting its rising influence in global security.

The Rival Factor – Pakistan and China’s Role

It’s important to remember that the UN is a political playground. Countries like Pakistan and China often lobby hard against India’s interests:

China’s veto blocks India’s efforts to blacklist terrorists.

Pakistan regularly raises the Kashmir issue at the UN.

India, in response, is building strong alliances through groups like the Quad (with the US, Japan, and Australia).

The Verdict – Is the UN Really Against India?

While India has its share of clashes with the UN, the relationship is far more complex than just "anti-India." India plays a huge role in shaping UN policies and contributing to global progress.

Instead of viewing the UN as hostile, it’s more accurate to see the relationship as one that’s evolving. As India’s global influence grows, so will its role within the UN.

What do you think? Is the UN unfair to India, or is this just the reality of international politics? Let’s chat!

One of the main constraints for the Electrical Steel Coatings market is the various regulations and laws that are put in place to limit and reduce energy consumption and pollution. For example, in Switzerland, The Federal Energy Law envisages measures to reduce energy consumption and regulate the energy consumption of installations, vehicles, and equipment. This is done so to ensure an economic and environmentally friendly supply of energy. While such regulations don’t directly affect the Electrical Steel Coatings market, they affect the primary end-users of electrical steel applications, namely the energy sector and the automotive sector. These regulations are only becoming more stringent as many countries and governments are adopting measures to make energy consumption as environmentally friendly as possible. As such, this proves to be a challenge for the Electrical Steel Coatings market within 2024–2030.
