ABSTRACT:

Covid-19 caused by the SARS-COV-2 virus (severe acute respiratory syndrome Coronavirus 2), is a severe disease which we became cognizant of only six months ago. Six months, which resulted in profound changes in business, education, transportation, and almost every aspect of daily life. Millions have been affected and thousands have lost their lives. It would not be a stretch to call this a war. And in the vanguard of this war is the Medical fraternity. As such, the impact of COVID-19 on all components of Health-care is undeniable. From medical students to consultant specialists, from government healthcare workers to private practitioners, every echelon of the medical world has been affected. This has been a challenge of unprecedented proportions, especially for the Indian health-care system. Covid-19 has created a situation of fear and panic in the society. Medical professionals are at the forefront of fighting this disease and naturally come in contact with the patients. Due to this, there have been many cases of discrimination against the individuals. Reports of people asking post graduate students to evacuate their houses with no prior warning were prevalent in the news. Such students were left abandoned only for doing their jobs. Ostracizing of medical professionals by society in general while they battle the deadly disease is extremely disheartening. Covid-19 has irreversibly affected the Medical fraternity. This article attempts to compile the impact of Covid-19 pandemic on medical fraternity and healthcare system.

KEYWORDS:
