Covid cases vs Covid Consults across all three waves in comparison with pre-covid times

The report ‘Understanding COVID-19: Comparing all three waves in India’ analyses how Indians accessed healthcare during the three covid waves The average time spent by a patient with a doctor online during this time was 30 minutes, which is comparable to in-person visits.

India, April 7: In the last two years, digital healthcare has played an important role in managing the Covid-19 pandemic. In managing the crisis – especially through all three waves in India – there has been tremendous growth in telemedicine, raising the possibility of a future where digital healthcare services will coexist with in-clinic visits in a hybrid setup.

Indicating the start of such a transition, Practo’s insights report – ‘Understanding Covid-19: Comparing the three waves’ reveals that nearly a quarter of the total users on Practo consulted online for COVID-19 during all three waves. While online doctor consultation has become widely popular as a quick and convenient way to seek timely care, the average time spent by a patient with a doctor online on Practo during this time was 30 minutes, which is comparable to in-person visits.

With covid cases rising again around the world giving way to speculations about an impending fourth wave, it is necessary to understand the health trends from the first three waves so that the healthcare industry is better prepared.

Report findings during all three waves:

• 70% of all online consultations for COVID-19
• Second wave was the deadliest with a 1500% surge in online consultations at its peak
• 57% of all telemedicine users experienced it for the first time
• 54% of all online consultations were from millennials and Gen Zs
• There was 50% growth in alternate medicine like Ayurveda and Homeopathy
• Specialities like Dental, Psychiatry and Sexology saw growth in in-person appointments
• Dolo 650mg, Zincovit, Limcee 500mg, Azee 500mg, Pan D capsule were the most ordered medicines
• Covid-19 swab test, Complete blood count test, Thyroid profile and HBA1c were the most ordered diagnostic tests

Covid cases vs Covid Consults across all three waves in comparison with pre-covid times

Regarding consultations associated with COVID-19, as expected, the second wave saw a massive surge, as demand for General Physicians, Pulmonologists, Cardiologists and Gynecologists remained high, especially among young people. With a focus on other key insights during this wave of the pandemic, this report, in addition to drawing a comparison between all three waves, also summarizes the post-COVID impact registered over the last few weeks.

Isolation amid successive lockdowns, the trauma of death in the family due to COVID-19 or associated ailments, and anxiety about an uncertain future have brought the discourse on mental health to the fore, demonstrated by an increase in online doctor consultations with psychiatrists on Practo during the second wave. Another significant development has been a rising interest in alternative medications like Ayurveda and Homoeopathy, as the natural resilience and immunity of the body came into sharp focus during the pandemic.

Prof. Rajendra Pratap Gupta, Author of the best-seller: ‘Digital Health – Truly Transformational’ and Chairman – Digital Health Academy & Health Parliament, said, “For most of us who have been championing digital adoption over the past two decades, this digital health revolution is not just evolutionary; it is revolutionary – either corporates or technologists have led the first two revolutions, and this time, this is being led by patients. A bottom-up movement always trumps all barriers. This study reveals that digital health adoption is growing exponentially across urban, rural areas, specialities, and age groups.  As work from home (WFH) becomes a reality, Consult from Home (CFH) is also becoming prominent.  The hybrid model of care is a reality now.”

Dr Alexander Kuruvilla, Chief Healthcare Strategy Officer, Practo, said, “India’s healthcare system saw a paradigm shift in its approach to deliver care during the COVID-19 pandemic. At a time when hospitals and care delivery units were overwhelmed by the rising number of positive COVID cases, telemedicine served as an efficient and effective alternative, saving lives and critical resources like hospital beds. Apart from the devastation that the pandemic brought, it also did reinstate the fact that quality healthcare can be made accessible and affordable to all.”

New Delhi (India), April 7: The Lecture on Krantijyoti Savitrimai Phule’s 125th Memorial Day titled as – Savitrimai’s contribution towards upliftment of the backward classes was presented by JAI BHEEM Short Video App. It was streamed live on Facebook and telecast on Awaaz India TV Channel and the YouTube channel of Jai Bheem Short Video App. The Speaker was Professor Shri Hari Narke, Head of Mahatma Phule Chair in Pune University and an author and orator.

Prof. Hari Narke is the author of 53 books and is mainly noted for his works on Mahatma Jyotirao Phule and Savitrimai Jyotiba Phule. He has delivered lectures across Europe, the Middle East and Asian countries, apart from being the most sought after speaker across India.

The live streaming was moderated by the Head of Awaaz India Channel, Mr Aman Kamble. The streaming began with a short clip on Savitrimai Phule and her husband, Jyotiba Phule, who set up the first school for girls in 1848 at Bhide Wada in Pune. Savitribai was the principal of this pioneer institution that was open to girls from all castes and communities. This was the first occasion for girls from the Dalit community to attend school.

Such was the opposition from the society in that era that often, the ladies of Pune threw Cow-Dung and stones at Savitribai during her commute to the school, as they thought girls going to school was anti-religion during that time. She also set up a Centre for Expectant widows as widows delivering children used to be considered a blotch on society. Savitribai took care of the upbringing of these so called ‘unwanted children and even adopted a child into her family.

After the death of Mahatma Jyotiba Phule, Savitrimai took over the responsibilities of Sahitya Sangram. Such was the dedication to serve the people that during the outburst of Plague in Pune, Savitrimai immersed herself in complete service to the plague victims. This eventually resulted in her being diagnosed with a plague that led to the end of her life.

“There is a widespread of illiteracy; casteism spread across India hence we had initiated our work towards the eradication of these ills of the society, replied Mahatma Jyotiba Phule and Savitrimai to a British media person,” was the initial observation of Prof. Hari Narke. He himself was born in an impoverished Mali caste family at Talegaon Dhamdhere, Tal. Shirur, Dist. Pune managed to complete his education by working in a graveyard.

Says Girish Wankhede, the CEO of Jai Bheem Short Video App, “We at Jai Bheem App are highly privileged that a great personality such as Professor Hari Narke chose our medium to speak about the contribution of Savitrimai Phule towards the upliftment of Backward classes. Prof Narke has narrated informative bits and experiences at length about Savitrimai Phule and her untiring efforts for the education of girl children.”

April 6: Mr. Bijender Goel, Founder of Modern Pythian Games, is all set to address and present the Modern Pythian Games to the world for the first time at the annual general meeting of the Delphi Economic Forum at Delphi, Greece on April 7, 2022.

Delphi Economic Forum, Athens, Greece, has invited Mr. Goel, in his official capacity as the founder of the Modern Pythian Games, to address their annual general meeting as the keynote speaker, to be held from April 6–9, 2022, at Delphi, Greece (origin of the Pythian Games). This annual general meeting of the Delphi Economic Forum is being held under the auspices of His Excellency the President of the Hellenic Republic of Greece, who opens the forum on the first day and is addressed by the Hon’ble Prime Minister of the Hellenic Republic of Greece.

Mr. Dalip Singh, IAS, former Chief Election Commissioner of Haryana and President of the Pythian Council of India, will accompany Mr.Goel during his 9-day visit.

Before their departure, Mr. Goel and Mr. Dalip Singh called upon Mr. Govind Mohan, Secretary, Ministry of Tourism and Culture, Government of India, and briefed him about the developments. They shall meet the Indian Ambassador in Greece during their visit to brief him on the Pythian Games.

Mr. Bijender Goel said that it is a great moment when modern Pythian Games inspired by the Greek history of ancient Pythian Games are being resurrected in India. I was proud when Delphi Economic Forum recognised this development and invited us to present the concept of Modern Pythian Games to the world and created a special session on this in their meeting.

He shall be speaking on the topic of how Pythian Games can play an important role in the global economy in a post-COVID scenario, and how they can play an important role in the global economy and contribute to maintaining peace and harmony through arts and culture.

The Pythian Games are to art and culture what the Olympics are to physical sports, and they were held in parallel with the Olympics in ancient Greece. The Pythian Games were one of Delphi’s four Pan-Hellenic Games and were in existence prior to 582 B.C. and were discontinued in 394 A.D. along with the Olympics and other Pan-Hellenic Games.

There is evidence that Greek artists competed each year in accordance with the Delphi Peace Agreement. Delphi’s history shows a strong commitment to art, culture, tradition, and education. Baron Pierre de Coubertin reintroduced the Olympic Games in 1894 and wanted to revive the Pythian Games too. Instead of a resurrection of these games, he incorporated artistic competitions into the Olympics, which were modelled after ancient Pythian Games. Individuals from every country participated in music, literature, architecture, and artwork between 1912 and 1948. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) discontinued such competitions in 1954.

Mr. Goel said that “the arts and culture have long been a power that links not only the heart and soul, but entire societies and nations together, but our artisans are still struggling for opportunities and don’t have the right platform to showcase their work, despite it being a multibillion-dollar industry today.

We need to make the arts and culture industry more organized. This can only be done with the help of the multi-level organisational approach of the modern Pythian Games.

We have given legal shape to the International Pythian Council as a non-profit, non-political, and non-religious organization, and it will take shape soon as the supreme authority of the global Pythian Games. It is set to create history by resurrecting the Modern Pythian Games of Arts and Culture with the backing of over 80 nations, soon from Delphi, Greece.

This visit will play a very important role in finalising the dates and the grand revival ceremony.Mr. Goel also said that the expert technical committee of the Ministry of Culture, Government of India, has found “Pythian Games” relevant in an official communication and asked for additional information.

The Pythian Games will be held every four years, and any national or state council should be able to bid for them with the assistance of their governments in order to host them.

The various events have been created in different art categories and the games, festivals, and engagements will take place in each of the eight primary creative fields: musical arts, performing arts, visual arts, social and traditional arts, language and literary arts, architecture and ecology, robotics and digital arts, martial arts, entertainment games, adventure games, traditional games, and support in reviving dying art traditions.

The sentiments from the Pythian Games are transforming into a global movement to support artisans, and that’s what our Hon’ble Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, desired in his recent speech on “MAN KI BAAT”.
