Alarming Situation for the People of South Asia

This year Covid19 is a battle field and force changer, no army no security agencies, Doctors, Nurses and Paramedics had replaced them to fight. Currently we are in an alarming state as we Pakistan and other south Asian countries are busy in handling Pandemic disease, Economic crises, hunger and soon heatstroke is another challenge for them.

I have review today’s situation which is in control due to lockdown in country, may be not be remain in control, soon government of Pakistan, India and other countries are going to lift the lockdown.

Healthcare Professionals are very much concerned, they are already facing issues due to lack of Personal Protection Equipment’s (PPE). In Pakistan, India we don’t have centralized Air-Conditioned Hospitals, the resources are very limited, we have Major Problems in our system electricity, hygiene, hospital buildings, beds, equipment’s, scanners, medicine, proper Laboratory, supply chain, resource allocation and waste management facilities.

Heat Stroke is alarming from tomorrow climate is another challenge for the nation, in that situation how can we manage patient care and personal care, where wet surgical mask is useless, and challenge to for nurses and doctors to wear gowns and other safety equipment.

N95 Mask became precious, Doctors and Nurses have to wear surgical mask during care and close contact with covid19 Patients, many of them are affected, their families are also on risk, we cannot afford all the paramedics get affected and quarantine for 14 days. we salute every health care professional and stand with them to continue their valuable services.

We were and we are in line to handle it, our morals are high, need community support to be united, keep distance and stay safe at home.
