Covid-19: Hard knocks from which we should learn

Covid-19: Hard knocks from which we should learn

The media reported that doctors in Goa are perplexed at the reason why some patients are still Covid positive after 30 days of treatment. The key point is the virus has attacked other nations first who have countered the same and have more competency than those here. If the solution is not within your four walls you need to look outside. The reason for the high incidence of kidney ailments in Canacona is still not known and we do not wish to get outside help.

On June 10, WHO is holding a webinar: Enhancing capabilities to manage health care and public health in emergencies.

The WHO said, “The pandemic has demonstrated that a complex set of knowledge, skills and attitudes “ commonly called competencies - are essential for protecting and saving lives. Strengthening the competencies of personnel and volunteers from a wide range of professions to manage complex national responses and work in hospitals, clinics and communities, is more important than ever, not just for Covid-19 but for any health emergency.” Hopefully, the right people, who have assumed they are doing better than the world in handling the lives of the public, will attend and implement. This will require a major attitude change.
