COVID-19 Pandemic: An Indian radiologist' perspective.

ABSTRACT

During the COVID-19 pandemic, differences in health-care system and policies among countries worldwide meant that each country had to come up with their own strategies for containment, diagnosis, and treatment of the disease - "no one size fits all." India being the second populous country in the world with modern and traditional systems of health care has its own challenges to face during the pandemic. Among the increased cacophony of information regarding the COVID-19 disease and controversies surrounding the usage of various radiological modalities for its diagnosis, we are trying to present a sane perspective from an Indian radiologist viewpoint. Knowing the strengths and shortcomings of the Indian health-care system, we have suggested plausible solutions which may be the answers to the issues raised by the Indian media.
