Keep the third wave away

Our centralised and inaccessible health system needs a complete makeover.

They say you can’t feel someone else’s pain until you face it yourself or when your dear ones go through the suffering. The fear that one sees in the eyes of hospital visitors who had to give consent to keep their loved ones on ventilator support is not something that can be expressed in words. The hopelessness in their voices after not being able to arrange beds, medicines or oxygen for their dying family members tears away any confidence. The pain that patients go through, gasping for breath between episodes of loss of consciousness, isn’t something anyone else can possibly imagine. The fear of death would shatter anyone’s motivation. They may not even see the ones they love for one last time before they have to leave on their one-way journey.
