Impact of Better Healthcare services on rapid recovery and low mortality of COVID19 patients

摘要

COVID-19 Pandemic is a public health emergency since March 2020. The COVID19 is a new infection caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2). This study was conducted on COVID-19 cases, to understand the impact of better healthcare services and delivery on patient recovery and provide one window approach from reception to diagnosis and treatment. Countries with lower mortality rates adopted the approach of early symptom screening, rapid testing and diagnosis by taking nasopharyngeal samples and use of real time PCR to confirm diagnosis within 24 hours, and timely use of chest CT determine the severity of pneumonia besides confirming the diagnosis.A practical approach to the management of COVID19 pandemic is crucial for the faster recovery and lower mortality. Early start of anticoagulant, heparin (Enoxaparin), and maintaining the oxygen saturation along with use of antiviral drugs may reduce the mortality rates and speed up the recovery of the patients suffering from the disease. Some of the key contributing factors for higher mortality rates includes overwhelmed healthcare systems, poorly equipped Intensive Care Units (ICUs), inadequate testing facilities, and larger proportions of elderly population.
