This will help health workers prepare for Post-COVID health complications in advance and give suitable treatment to patients.”
States which are working towards the recovery of COVID-19 pandemic, would follow the newly issued guidelines. These modules would be a major help in building the capacity of the doctors, nurses, paramedics and community health workers across India.
Mr. Mansukh briefed about the same and said, “This is the first such series of 7 modules released in India, providing extensive guidelines for the medical fraternity. This includes a module for healthcare providers to deal with mental health, which is of utmost importance.”
The decision to release a detailed study base module regarding post COVID-19 management was taken after considering several side effects and long term health issues reported by people who recovered COVID-19.
Mr. Mansukh Mandaviya said, “We have witnessed the consequences of post-COVID effect in patients due to taking higher doses of steroids like cases of Mucormycosis. It is important to take medicines, with fewer or negligible side effects. If we are alert beforehand, it will be fruitful in tackling the future consequences of COVID-19.”
The issued guidelines would also deal with the increasing number of fears, mental health issues and depression due to the Wuhan virus pandemic. It would be a handbook for the Indian Medical department, dealing with the Novel Coronavirus pandemic on a long term.
