      An IPL match is not just a regular run of the mill cricket match. It is an individual festival about different cultures that are spread out across 8 states of the country. During IPL season, every screen lights up to gawk at indigenous as well as foreign sportsmen at the top of their game. The IPL games have seen some crazy portrayals of not only cricket but also pure athleticism. Despite being a local, private cricket league, the stakes are enormously high. And when the stakes are high, the sportsmen tend to take the game to the next level. But the problem arises when taking the game to the next level. An IPL match is more prone to injuries and accidents due to the insane pressures the cricketers face. Unforeseen and dangerous injuries are common ground in an IPL pitch they are considered a part of the game. But regardless of the nature of the game, precautions should be taken to either prevent or at the most quickly treat tragedies occurring on the pitch. That’s w...

         For some good news in the pandemic, India has reported a sudden decrease in confirmed corona cases in the previous two weeks. It is seen as a sign of hope by most but more importantly, it is the culmination of all the efforts that have been put up by our frontline workers like doctors, nurses, hospital staff, and our paramedics. Though the daily record of new cases of the coronavirus is still a pretty high number- hovering around the 50k mark; there has been a steep decline of over 20 thousand new cases in just two weeks. The COVID-19 graph of India is still climbing up a dangerous slope, but at least the rate of increasing steepness has depraved greatly. In today’s Ziqitza Healthcare ltd blog, we’ll be looking at the main factors of this decline in daily COVID-19 cases in India and how can we add on to the factors to take full advantage of the momentum that has been set up. What Exactly Happened? In the middle of September, it seemed as if the battle a...

           It is no surprise that the medical sector of India is appalling when compared to our competing nations, but we get away with it by masquerading as a ‘developing country’. However, with the onslaught of a pandemic that was predicted to happen, India needs to pull up its socks to gather momentum in its healthcare and medical equipment department.    Why India’s Healthcare Is Inadequate Our current situation because of the spread of the Coronavirus shows how weak the disaster preparation of our country’s hospitals truly is, and the same mistake has been committed by other leading countries as well. The United States Of America has been reporting a continuous rise in COVID-19 cases and its death rate is significant as well. But this can’t be used as an excuse for a country like India to ignore our inadequacy and keep focusing on issues that divert attention from severe problems like our healthcare sector.   What Stats Show That India C...

   If we disregard the title, all cities in India need more ambulances as there is an unbelievable shortage of everything related to the medical sector in India. But metropolitan cities in particular like Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, and Chennai have the utmost need of increasing their ambulance numbers as well as their quality.  However, one would expect ambulance services to be decent in major commercialized cities, right? Well, that’s debatable. Sure there is a much better chance that an emergency will be acknowledged and tackled quickly in comparison to rural areas of the country, but overall the emergency services or even metro cities of India are incomparable to those of the USA, Japan, or the UK. Many factors come into play when we talk about why Indian metro cities need more ambulances, but they are mainly high population density and high demand. These two factors are responsible for the major emergency inadequacy of metro cities that like to masquerade as ‘de...

    Ziqitza: Mental Healthcare for Corporates   The pandemic has been horrendous and overworking for our frontline medical workers like Paramedics, Ambulance Operators, Doctors andNurses, but it has also had a depressing effect on the overall workforce of the world. Many have lost their jobs or are constantly living in the fear of losing one   and have little to no time to relieve their pent-up stress and work from home is adding more to it . Due to offices being shut down and public places being essentially coming to a standstill, mental health problems in the workforce are on the rise.   Mental health diseases like depression, narcissism, and schizophrenia were already shooting up due to the practically insane amount of work pressure employees of the 21st century are subjected to, but the pandemic has just spilled kerosene over a raging fire. It is no doubt that mental health is neglected all around the world and even more laughably so in our cou...

The 23.9% GDP fall has left everyone in shambles. An economic downfall due to the spread of the Coronavirus and the lockdown was expected, but such a significant fall all the while with the constant exponential rise in cases has surely endangered the country’s future. A cut down in a quarter of a country’s GDP ensures that every section of it experiences major difficulties, be it the cultural section or the professional section. It is interesting to note that in the coming recession, as is the case with any recession; many sectors will get hit more hardly than others. But as the pandemic goes on and people sit tight waiting for the vaccine, the medical sector has to power through all of the difficulties it experiences because of the GDP downfall. But how exactly will such a major fall affect the medical sector? Well, the substantial areas that have been identified are as expected, the most obvious ones : The Medical Staff As the pandemic stretches forward with the economic...

One thing that people like to bring up the most since lockdown commenced and subsequently ended is the statistic of deaths caused by traffic in India. It is indeed a humongous number but incomparable to deaths caused by the Coronavirus as Corona casualties are only going to exponent further. However, it is interesting to note that just like the Coronavirus, we have no cure for traffic deaths except of course common sense, proper precautions, and a little bit of luck. So it is exactly like fighting against the Coronavirus! (a joke, of course) But coming back to the point, the number of deaths caused by traffic is staggering and the reasons behind it may be of varied nature. So in today’s Ziqitza Healthcare ltd blog, we’re going to dive deeper into the statistics of traffic deaths and what may be the reasons behind them. The Actual Statistic There were 4.6 lakh cases of reported road accidents in India in the year 2018, nearly a quarter of which involved the death of at least one ...
