Home healthcare services get a booster dose
With more than 80 per cent people developing mild-to-moderate Covid-19 infections that require no hospitalisation, giving them healthcare services at home has become very important. Interestingly, many home healthcare firms had started operations during pre-Covid times, and their focus was mainly on chronic patients who required long-term, home-based health care support. However, with Covid-19 emerging as the biggest health emergency, they shifted mainly towards Covid management.
“Our true value is being seen in augmenting healthcare services at home in the pandemic times,” said Gaurav Thukral, Executive VP and COO of HCAH India, a medical doctor.
