Enhancement of Manpower for Management of COVID-19 Crisis in India

ABSTRACT

The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic overwhelmed not just the resources in terms of infrastructure but also manpower. With many healthcare workers turning COVID-19 positive themselves, and the healthcare system being overburdened, we were short-staffed in most health institutions across India. In anticipation of a similar crisis, at our tertiary care centre, we came up with certain measures to enhance the manpower should the need arise for not just hospitals, but also the society at large.
