COVID-19 and Health Governance in India: A Phenomenological Perspective

Abstract

The emergence of COVID-19 has disrupted the traditional systems of health governance worldwide while creating and revealing varying aspects of systemic problems. Almost all countries, including India, have been affected by the pandemic. The paper deals with the interlinkages between COVID-19 and health governance in India. More importantly, the paper emphasises developing a discourse within the society about the challenges and issues faced by informal healthcare professionals (IHPs). According to the study, the new era in the post-pandemic period will need a transformative indulgence in remodelling, recreating and revitalising key structures, institutions and personnel skills.
