The first COVID-19 case in India was detected on January 30, the same day that WHO declared it a public health emergency of international concern. Around 10 million cases have been recorded in the country since then with around 150000 casualties. While the crisis has shaken the entire world, the situation has been particularly challenging for India and the struggles have shone a spotlight on the inadequate public healthcare system in India. It has shown how you don’t need an epidemic, however predictable, for the public health system to collapse. It is a matter of routine that patients share beds and doctors are overworked.

Shobha Shukla – CNS .All must be encouraged in an understanding of the fact that all human beings are born good, but they may be endowed with different gifts. Deviations from preset norms should not form the basis of ostracism. There should be no discrimination on the basis of one s gender identity. We need to try to see it as a gift and not as a threat. . So had said late Sister Marian Moriarty IBVM, a former Superior General of the Loreto Sisters, when I had met her about a decade ago. These words, coming from a devout Catholic, are indeed encouraging and would help in removing the misconception that religion goes against the so called out of line behaviour .
