How the Pandemic changes Health Care
The pandemic situation of COVID-19 has created different problems for the people from
which one of the most significant problems is that it has changed the entire health care system.
The health care professionals have to follow the new rules related to health care so that chances of
a better situation can become enhanced.
Temesgen et al. conducted the study in 2020 to explain the condition of the health care
system that has become occurred due to COVID-19 in both developed and developing countries.
The study has claimed that the health care system became negatively affected after the diagnosis
of the first case of COVID-19 that was reported on December 31, 2019. There are different causes
that lead to the generation of different problems, from which one of the most significant causes is
that it spread into more than 212 countries at the same time. The number of patients became
increased from 5.4 million, which showed that the pressure on government and health care
professionals enhanced, and they had to implement different changes in the health care system.
This large-scale pandemic of COVID-19 has caused the health care system to shift how health care
professionals provide care substantially and quickly. There were also certain other changes that
resulted due to the implementation of lockdown by the government in different countries
(Temesgen, 2020).
The study was conducted in 2020 by Liu et al. to find the changes that have occurred in the
field of health care due to the outbreak of COVID-19. There is no doubt that the outbreak of
COVID-19 was a sudden burden on society and health care professionals. There was not any other
option just to change the health care system according to the situation and available facilities so
that maximum lives could be saved. The main concern of the health care professionals was to

decrease the rate of morbidity and mortality within available resources. Therefore, the entire health
care system has to face some changes due to pandemics (Liu, 2020).
Thus, it has become concluded from the results that there are different changes that have
become occurred in the health care system due to the pandemic situation of COVID-19. It is
important for the government and health care professionals to analyze the situation and implement
such a system that negative impacts can be reduced.
