Abstract

After declaring the outbreak of COVID-19 as pandemic by World Health Organization on 11th March 2020, the total numbers of confirmed cases are exponentially increasing and crippling almost every nation in respect to its health status and economic status. India spending only 1.28% of its GDP, the health care sector had been stretched to its fullest capacity. Be it healthcare sector, medical tourism or pharmaceutical sector, every sector has been affected. Lessons learned from the present and past epidemics and pandemics can be used to formulate proactive steps to manage the risks of future epidemics and mitigate their impact. Collaborative actions at the levels of local, national, and multinational can be a way towards protecting our collective well-being in the near future.
