The lack of trained healthcare professionals in India was evident amid the COVID-19 breakout. According to a report by BMJ Open, an online journal, the skilled health workforce in India does not meet the WHO recommendation threshold of 22.8 skilled workers per 10,000 population.
The pandemic outbreak saw the healthcare sector crumble in several instances due to the lack of infrastructure and shortage of skilled manpower. However, the crisis also enabled innovators to come together and think of solutions to bridge the gaps in the space.
