The number of coronavirus cases show no sign of flattening down. They have kept increasing across India but there is one state which is clearly winning the fight against Covid19. It is Kerala. Some of it is because of quick and careful decisions they took, some of it is also because of infrastructure and healthcare model that already exists in the state. In this video, let’s understand what rest of India can learn from the Kerala model. Kerala is the fourth best state in the country in terms of doctor availability. Health index 2019 by NITI Ayog states that Kerala is the best state in terms of healthcare in India. Kerala spends more than 5% of its GDP for healthcare while India as a country only spends 1.29% of GDP on Healthcare. I interview Dr. Abhay Shukla to understand how India needs to improve its healthcare for the future pandemics.
