Every patient treated at home frees-up a hospital bed for someone critical: NatHealth Secretary General

Between the Delta and Omicron variants of the coronavirus, the need for home healthcare has been acutely felt and a fledgling healthcare service has begun to grow. Largely fragmented, and yet, about two crore patients have been supported during the second wave. Not a moment too soon, the Centre revised home isolation guidelines on January 5th. In fact, this week, NatHealth (a platform for various healthcare arms including hospitals) also came out with a white paper on home healthcare, focusing on issues including standardised procedures, insurance coverage, data privacy, and training the human resource needed to staff these services, says Siddhartha Bhattacharya, Secretary-General, NatHealth. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/business-line/message
