Abstract:
The impact of COVID-19 on the global healthcare system was detrimental, and India was not an exception. A crucial part of India's fight during the pandemic was the nation's astonishing vaccination delivery. From actively curbing the spread of COVID-19 and managing the affected to initiatives for the vaccination of our vast country, India faced numerous challenges in the healthcare delivery system during the pandemic. India's compassionate initiative to supply COVID-19 vaccines across the globe was remarkable. With the rising caseload and increasing case fatality, healthcare workers (HCWs) worked tirelessly to fight the battle against COVID-19. This left gruesome effects on their mental health, leading to various mental health problems. To alleviate such concerns, the government and many renowned institutions in India put forth recommendations, services, and assistance to those suffering. In a nutshell, the healthcare system in India faced countless challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic, but the course of action taken to combat those challenges was truly extraordinary.
