Healthcare Industry

Hospitals are foundations of the healthcare structure. The quality of services in a hospital is assessed through studying its structure density, hospital bed density, occupancy, length of stay, expenses and funding. Predominantly, the standards for a good health system are analyzed through the rate of affordability and accessibility of the treatment and care offered to the patients. The hospital organizations rely fundamentally on a nation’s health system as well as on the State.

Healthcare workers have been at the frontline in the worldwide efforts to treat COVID-infectees for more than a year now. This has been going on while they put their own lives at genuine risk.

According to the reports of WHO, over 1,15000 healthcare workers have died after contracting COVID19, thus far. According to Amnesty, “Unsafe working conditions and a lack of personal protective equipment (PPE) have been some of the main issues faced by health workers worldwide throughout the pandemic, especially in the early phases.”

Working day and night in the infected hospital rooms, wards and corridors, the lives of frontline medical professionals, nursing staff and key healthcare workers are at stake during the course of a pandemic.

As per reports, there are still ample hospitals in India, Malaysia and the United States, where there is an acute shortage of PPE and where auxiliary staff continues to face the brunt of the situation and reprimands such as dismissal from job upon demanding PPE and better working conditions.
