| Summary: | The fight against the corona pandemic is important from the point of its direct impact in terms of high morbidity and moderate mortality but it also could indirectly result in many more victims by disrupting the architecture of our existing health system. So far, It has been seen that due to unprecedented nature of covid19 pandemic and high transmissibility forced the health authorities to give their almost 100% attention toward covid19 pandemic management and we have either reduced or stopped to pay attention to our known enemies like TB, HIV etc. These are very dangerous infectious diseases that have been known to affect us badly since years with high morbidity and mortality. If we tend to continue forget these known enemies while fighting against the corona, there is a risk of having even greater impact of existing disaster in the coming days. |
