Abstract:
Health and socioeconomic developments are so closely intertwined and it is impossible to achieve one without the other. Persistent and growing socioeconomic gaps result in major discrepancies in the quality of people's health. A set of capabilities and infrastructure are indispensable to prepare and respond to the threat of pandemics. Kerala branded as a model, and it is unique that the standards achieved are comparable with that of the developed countries. A successful primary healthcare infrastructure tested decades back is the myth behind the epic level of the healthcare system. The COVID-19 pandemic is a real eye-opener for all the nations and mankind all over the world. The hospitals and health systems face some causalities and it indicates that a health sector restructuring is absolutely necessary to fight against COVID-19. It warrants greater political will and increased funding for essential health services. This paper explores how we managed the health crisis due to the COVID-19 pandemic so far with our decades tested health care system and explain how the economic and financial crisis can be tied over with innovative strategies, with special emphasis to healthcare infrastructure in Kerala.
