Many suffering from various ailments reluctant to visit hospitals for follow-up care due to pandemic situation
The district health wing has warned of a possible spike in non-COVID cases as many suffering from various ailments were found reluctant to visit hospitals for follow-up care in view of the worsening pandemic situation.
With the primary focus of the health system turning back to COVID-19 cases following the massive surge in daily cases, the chances of an increase in non-COVID cases were high, according to the preliminary assessment by the authorities. A similar situation was evident at the peak of the second wave, they said.
“People requiring weekly lab tests and hospital visits owing to various ailments like diabetes, hypertension and lifestyle diseases would be hesitant to complete the process, fearing that they may get infected after visiting a lab or hospital facility. Such a situation may lead to an increase in non-COVID cases,” said Sajith John, District Programme Manager, National Health Mission.
