Abstract
Despite an extensive healthcare system in India, the COVID-19 Pandemic created havoc upon the existing Indian healthcare system by disrupting the supply of essential healthcare services to patients. It has also highlighted the significant-quality discrepancies of healthcare facilities between the rural-urban areas and between public and private healthcare providers. The not so advanced healthcare system of India was exposed through the lack of oxygen and essential drugs required for the treatment of COVID-19. Additionally, during the pandemic period there was a drastic decline in seeking non-COVID-19 disease related healthcare services. The objective of this systematic review is to determine whether COVID-19 has impacted the healthcare system in India.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Public Health Research (JPHR) is an online Open Access, peer-reviewed journal in the field of public health science. The aim of the journal is to stimulate debate and dissemination of knowledge in the public health field in order to improve efficacy, effectiveness and efficiency of public health interventions to improve health outcomes of populations. This aim can only be achieved by adopting a global and multidisciplinary approach. The Journal of Public Health Research publishes contributions from both the “traditional'' disciplines of public health, including hygiene, epidemiology, health education, environmental health, occupational health, health policy, hospital management, health economics, law and ethics as well as from the area of new health care fields including social science, communication science, eHealth and mHealth philosophy, health technology assessment, genetics research implications, population-mental health, gender and disparity issues, global and migration-related themes. In support of this approach, JPHR strongly encourages the use of real multidisciplinary approaches and analyses in the manuscripts submitted to the journal. In addition to Original research, Systematic Review, Meta-analysis, Meta-synthesis and Perspectives and Debate articles, JPHR publishes newsworthy Brief Reports, Letters and Study Protocols related to public health and public health management activities.
