Abstract
While the novel coronavirus has changed the face of the society and affected healthcare system immensely, non-COVID-19 patients tend to suffer the most. After 6 months of different phases of lockdown, patients are finding it very difficult to make their way to the hospitals and out- patient departments. Routine procedures including elective surgeries are completely withheld in the public sector. Hence, an obvious upgrading of their ailments are likely to occur in the near future. The pandemic has posed great challenges to those who used to travel miles to receive health care services in distant cities. It has also reduced the admission rate of patients to emergency departments. India, experiencing the highest surge of cases in the present time, is likely to suffer the brunt of this deadly war. With fast depletion of resources, non-COVID-19 patients are left with nothing but a blind fate that will leave them ruined by the time corona gets cured from the society.
