The pandemic brought the entire world to a standstill with populations across the world going into extended periods of lockdown and practicing social distancing. Governments, industries, and communities weathered the effects, from large-scale to supply-chains disruptions.
COVID-19 pandemic has unleashed an unprecedented disruption of lives, livelihoods, communities, economies and the businesses across the globe. Reinforcing the links between health, environment and the economy, the pandemic has simultaneously given the world an extraordinary window of opportunity to leverage this moment of crisis and take bold steps that can steer the world back on track towards achieving Sustainable Development Goals which are inter-dependent in nature.
The outbreak of the novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and subsequent lockdown has posed several challenges for the Indian industry, which include liquidity crisis, lack of manpower and disruption of business operations: affecting continuity and sustainability of businesses. Virtually all major sectors of the economy such as health, automobiles, real estate, construction, steel, and energy, etc. are facing the brunt of the pandemic.
Transparency is a vital component to build an effective and efficient health care system, and the lack of transparency in healthcare threatens to erode public trust. Healthcare organizations need strong ethical foundations to reinforce the culture of 'trust' between the caregiver and the community.
