Abstract
The current COVID-19 pandemic has affected our daily lives and routine to a large extent. Be it our over-burdened health related services or fear of economic loss on a larger scale, this pandemic has affected everyone in some way or the other. No doubt that those getting infected with this virus are being affected the most but still there is a huge population which is not infected with this virus. This group of population is suffering due to its pre-existing illness/disease which is not being addressed currently because of various unavoidable measures like lockdown taken up by many governments across the world. This stratum of population may be hidden as of now but it will eventually pop-out when the current pandemic gets over or is slowed down and this may lead to another health crisis post COVID-19 pandemic.

In the US, uninsured healthcare workers who are predisposed to an increased risk of viral infection may lead to significant financial consequences in the event of illness [1]
Preventive measures like Lockdown and social distancing have heightened fears of increasing domestic violence, which includes physical, emotional and sexual abuse [2]. All this may only be the tip of the iceberg of upcoming health care related crisis which many countries in the world may face after this pandemic is over
Summary
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus – 2 (SARS-CoV-2) was declared a pandemic by World Health Organization (WHO) on March 11, 2020 It has affected daily lives of both infected and non-infected people in many ways. Preventive measures like Lockdown and social distancing have heightened fears of increasing domestic violence, which includes physical, emotional and sexual abuse [2] All this may only be the tip of the iceberg of upcoming health care related crisis which many countries in the world may face after this pandemic is over. Kajal and Anam / GSC Biological and Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2020, 11(03), 224–225 morbidity or even mortality in some cases This holds true for developing countries who already have poor health resources and infrastructure and for over-burdened health care of developed countries during this pandemic. All these questions must be addressed early before we land up in another health service crisis post COVID-19 pandemic
