The repercussions of almost half a century of negligence have never been felt so profoundly. The COVID-19 pandemic has utterly overturned the public confidence in the health system. Both public and private healthcare services are in extremely vulnerable positions, putting the lives of both patients and health workers in danger. It is now being realized in all quarters, that there can be no alternative to the improvement of the health sector with special focus to ensuring accessibility, expansion of capacity, development of human capital, research, and technology.
