India witnessed major changes in its healthcare infrastructure and functioning to deal with the highly infectious disease. The innovative solutions offered by these platforms are now here to stay even in a post-covid world. The covid-19 pandemic also forced the central government-run hospitals to upgrade their infrastructure and find new ways to handle patients of infectious diseases such as tuberculosis. “The kind of innovative healthcare infrastructure we have today was never there before. While it has resulted in stimulating the interest in innovative solutions for health, it has also facilitated solutions for areas such as remote working, distance education, e-commerce, and mobility," added Banerjee.
