Bolster healthcare 18 May 2021 The Dalai Lama being vaccinated at a COVID-19 vaccine centre in the city of Dharamshala, India. Reuters COVID-19 is now ravaging the villages of India, where about 70 per cent of the population resides. More bodies are floating in rivers; mass graves are being discovered. In rural areas, health is managed through Primary Health Centres (PHCs). According to the Economic Survey of India, 60 per cent of the PHCs have only one doctor, whilst five per cent of them do not have any doctor. Infrastructure is weak in these PHCs. A PHC frequently consists of two or three rooms, with minimal medical equipment. They are not equipped with ventilators or oxygen facilities. The PHCs face problems of absenteeism among staff, shortage of medicines and long waits for patients. In addition, villagers have to walk two to five kilometres to reach a PHC. How can a patient, afflicted with COVID-19, walk to a PHC?
