How GPC is fighting the pandemic with its affordable COVID-19 essentials?

The history behind COVID-19

In 2003, SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) is believed to have possibly started from bats, spread to cats and then to dogs and humans. Starting in China, it spread to 26 countries. The syndrome is characterized by respiratory problems, fever, dry cough and body aches. It is spread through respiratory droplets from coughs and sneezes. The quarantine efforts for this breakout was a wake-up call for healthcare professionals to improve outbreak responses which was used later to tackle H1N1, Ebola & Zika under control.

What is COVID-19?

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease which is caused by a new strain of coronavirus which causes illness ranging from common old to severe diseases such as MERS-CoV & SARS-CoV. Most people who fall sick experience mild to moderate symptoms and recover without special treatment. Most common symptoms include dry cough, fever and tiredness. The virus can affect the upper (sinuses, nose, throat) and lower respiratory tract (lungs and windpipe). As per preliminary data, the recovery time from this virus is approximately 2-3 weeks.

The COVID-19 virus was officially announced to be a pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020 after barrelling through 114 countries in 3 months. It had infected over 118,000 people at that time. The COVID-19 is caused by a new strain that was previously not found in humans.

The COVID-19 pandemic has reshaped nearly every aspect of our lives, and the healthcare industry is no exception. The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted healthcare operations across the globe. Pandemics are large-scale outbreaks characterized by high burden of morbidity & mortality which causes disruption in every level of our society from economy to healthcare. Outbreaks have been occurring lately, but every outbreak doesn’t reach the global pandemic level such as the novel coronavirus which has stretched the healthcare infrastructure of even the developed countries. This marks an urgent need for the upgradation of healthcare infrastructure all over the world to tackle future outbreaks with minimum casualties.

Impact on Healthcare Industries

Although, COVID-19 continues to challenge the growth of various industries, the immediate impact is varied. While some industries are registering a drop in demand, some are growing unscathed amidst the pandemic. The rising prevalence of orthopaedic conditions are the backbone for the growth of the implants market. As per various studies, technological advances have been identified as the primary reasons for the market growth of orthopaedic implants. In a nutshell, the COVID-19 pandemic has altered the orthopaedic landscape for the coming few years. There has emerged new developments in the web-based education platforms to train and educate surgeons. The economic downfall that the world has endured due to the shutting down measure has equivocally impacted the healthcare industry as a whole. The healthcare industries have suffered severe dips in 1st and 2nd quarter sales which have forced them to take proactive steps to conserve capital and maintain liquidity during these uncertain times. Hospital staff, surgeons and orthopaedic industries must work together now to tackle the anticipated increase in demand for healthcare products and implants once we’re back to normal. Certain strategies must be put in place to mitigate this increasing demand for the final quarter of this year.
