The lesson that the Corona Virus teaches us.

During the past two / three decades, we have been witnessing what was happening in the health-care sector. The successive governments had systematically weakened the government hospitals and the government primary health centres, by cutting down the fund allotments. At the same time, private hospitals have come up in a big way. They were looting the people mercilessly. Their colourful advertisements were occupying our TV screens. But now, all of a sudden, we realise that only the government hospitals are coming to the rescue of the people, to fight the Corona Virus menace. In many places, the government is converting hotels and colleges into temporary hospitals. Reports say that, in Europe, where the Corona Virus disease is at it’s peak, the entire health care sector has been taken over by the government, at least temporarily. All these developments indicate that, in the days to come, the government health-care system has got a crucial role to play and hence, it should be strengthened. This is the lesson that the Corona Virus teaches us.
