Dr H Sudarshan Ballal said, “The government should be congratulated for its tremendous effort to complete 100 crore vaccinations. Fighting vaccine hesitation, making immunization free of charge, ensuring equitable distribution of vaccines, and managing immunization in rural areas. It was not easy for the government. The government has managed it with precision. The role of Karnataka has also been important in this campaign. The state has been ahead in the fight against Corona from the very beginning and has merged as a model state in COVID management”.

Mr Nandkishor Dhomne in an authored piece on How will Covid-19 reshape India’s healthcare sector on ET Edge Insights.

About the story

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a major impact on the healthcare sector across the world. In India, digital technologies have played a key role in pandemic response. Digital platforms like MyGov, Aarogya Setu and Cowin have played a critical role in information dissemination, contact tracing and vaccination efforts. Communities have used social platforms to support each other, and healthcare providers have scaled up virtual services in order to meet the demand for diagnosis and care.

Mr Dilip Jose in an exclusive interview on Digital routes to access health care is something that hospitals will have to adapt in a big way to ET Healthworld.

I think people need fungible infrastructure, which can function as high dependency or ICU beds sometimes and go back to normal beds later. I think this is one adaptability that is required. Secondly, the digital capability of hospitals. Given that social distance and other needs would continue for the future, people may not want to travel a longer distance for health care, so digital routes to access health care is something that hospitals will have to factor in either by retrofitting whenever required or factoring in the design when you construct new hospitals so that digital routes and digital adaptabilities are something that you may require, said Mr. Dilip Jose.

Dr. H Sudarshan Ballal said , "Hospitals should only be for the acutely ill, rest should be managed at home" in an exclusive interview to DECCAN HERALD.

The third wave is predicted to hit in October. It could be a third wave or it might just be the tail of the second wave continuing for a longer period. Unlike the first wave, the second wave is tapering down slowly. But I do believe that even if a third wave does hit, the numbers will be small, the disease will be less severe and, overall, easier to manage, said Dr. H Sudarshan Ballal.

The introduction of a unique health identification card at the national level would be a gamechanger in monitoring, providing, and managing healthcare for all citizens. But, we will have to wait and see the implementation of the project while making sure that the privacy of an individual is maintained at all costs, said Dr. H Sudarshan Ballal.

The government should arrive at a consensus on pricing through negotiation and dialogue.

Dr Sudarshan Ballal said, "NO ONE IS SAFE TILL EVERYONE IS SAFE" in an exclusive interaction with ET Health World.

We certainly have paid a very high price during the second wave. It was truly devastating and never in my 50 years of practicing medicine have I seen devastation like this in the Healthcare industry. Obviously, because of the lessons learned during the second wave and the advent of vaccinations that have happened in the recent past, I think we will be in a much better position to tackle the third wave. Now as most of us are aware, about 70% of our population has already been exposed to the Coronavirus as per the recent sero-surveillance reports, which means only about 30% population is still vulnerable and with the accelerated vaccination program almost reaching 1 crore a day I am sure a lot more people will be vaccinated in the near future which means that very few people will be left vulnerable, said Dr. H Sudarshan Ballal, Chairman, Manipal Health Enterprises Pvt Ltd.

Dr. H Sudarshan Ballal said Third-wave will be easier to handle and certainly would not be as serious in an exclusive interaction with ET Health World.

It is also important to know that in the third wave people who have not been vaccinated are the children and the younger age group. So, they are more likely to get the infection. However, the good news is we have seen that the children usually do not get serious disease due to Coronavirus and we have also seen that most of them can be treated as outpatients like the minor flu and it is interesting to know that even in the second wave, the Sero-surveillance showed a fair number of kids actually were infected with the virus but it did not become a major problem because they never got into the hospital’s ICU and fortunately the mortality was very low. This does not mean that we should not prepare for the third wave, said Dr. H Sudarshan Ballal, Chairman, Manipal Health Enterprises Pvt Ltd.

Dr. H Sudarshan Ballal discusses the Launch Of Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission By PM Modi covered in ET Health World.

The PMDHM would be a revolutionary concept in the healthcare delivery of our country and would be akin to the introduction of the Aadhaar card introduced in our country many years ago as a unique identification card for our citizens. The introduction of a unique health identification card at the national level would be a game-changer in monitoring, providing, and managing healthcare for all citizens and could be a great leap for our management of NCDs. The proof of the pudding of this unique step introduced by the honorable Prime Minister would be the attention to detail in the implementation of the project and making sure that the privacy of an individual is maintained at all costs. Overall all of us in the healthcare sector welcome this progressive step that hopefully will go a long way in improving the health care of our citizens, said Dr. H Sudarshan Ballal, Chairman, Manipal Health Enterprises Pvt Ltd.
