“…Knowledge and experience based group division and redistribution of health care worker for different working zone adds to resilience and engagement. Kichhar et al adopted three division with resident doctors , nursing and supporting staff to serve 8 hour shift and cycle of 9 day rotation in ICU and 15 days rotation in COVIDisolation ward [51] In order to prevent HCW burnout it is advisable to ensure cooling-off time and or "buffer ward" (non-COVID) rotation in between.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has put an unprecedented burden to world health, economy and social life with possible long-term consequences. The velocity and mass of this infection pandemic had already overwhelmed every robust health care system in the world. The evidence pertaining to this novel infection pandemic is evolving, so are the challenges in terms of adequate preparedness and response. In this review, we enumerate the strategic and operational domains and build a functional framework for the management of hospital mass infection incidents due to COVID-19 and similar future pandemics. This functional framework could assist health policy maker and health care worker to implement, innovate, and translate preparedness and response to save valuable life and resources.

“…Making matters worse, the pandemic and its consequent public health strategies have curtailed outreach MH camps and community mobilizations of paraprofessionals and volunteers. MH care resources have been redeployed to aid with the acute care delivery for those with COVID 19 ( Khichar et al, 2020 , Mukherjee and Parashar, 2020 ). Prior to the pandemic, India’s MH care responses were on track to being scaled up and integrated with physical health care ( Kumar et al, 2020 ; “ National Mental Health Programme (NMHP)::(1982), National Health Mission,” n.d. ).…”

Treatment gaps of 60-70%, reflecting, amongst many other factors, Human Resources shortfalls means that 150 million India never accessed mental healthcare. In Punjab, mental health training is required in primary health centers. A short-term synchronous training was conceptualized by the National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences. A total of 114 primary care doctors participated for the training. Substantial positive changes in knowledge, attitudes and practices were noted. Task sharing and capacity building initiatives can be undertaken during the pandemic to meet the demand for mental healthcare service delivery.

Medicine plays important role for patient's treatment and disease prevention in case of pandemic situations. A healthcare institutions such as pharmacies or hospitals must ensure the availability of medicines as well as other resources such as masks, beds, PPE kits, etc. Hospitals as a health service provider have to face several challenges. One of the challenges is unavailability of Medicines during crucial periods/outbreaks, also due to lack of centralized systems for inventory management results in poor treatment to patients in hospitals. Predictive analysis of the amount of medicine usage and resources can help in hospital asset management. But forecasting medicine usage based on only inventory data will not provide good results when an outbreak happens. As outbreaks cannot be time-series forecasted, it is not feasible to forecast medicine usage only using time-series forecasting models. We propose a forecasting model combination of time forecasting model and epidemiology SIR model to find different trends and seasonality during outbreaks.
