在印度，Covid-19大流行在多个方面带来了公开的挑战：(a)为应对Covid-19，医院的护理重新配置导致许多患有非Covid-19病症的患者不得不推迟治疗；(b)封锁虽然是必要的，但对人们的影响是不平等的，有些人的情况比其他人严重得多。本文通过提出关于其他疾病患者在获得医疗服务时所处困境的道德和伦理问题，揭示了Covid-19对印度医疗系统的影响。本文还提出了一组行动，通过这些行动，医疗保健系统可以解决与Covid和非Covid相关的医疗保健需求。
In India, the Covid-19 pandemic has thrown open challenges on multiple fronts: (a) the reconfiguration of care in hospitals, in response to Covid-19, has led to many patients suffering non-Covid conditions having to delay their treatment, and (b) the lockdown which though necessary has affected people unequally, some being much worse-off than others. This article unpacks the impact of Covid-19 on healthcare systems in India by raising moral and ethical questions about the plight of patients with other medical conditions while accessing care. This article also proposes a set of actions by which healthcare systems can address Covid and non-Covid related healthcare needs.
