Dr. Sudarshan Ballal on Omicron Vaccines & Protection in MONEY CONTROL MASTERCLASS.

Dr Sudarshan Ballal said, We are seeing now certainly the third wave in India mostly in the three cities of Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore. Now, there are some stark differences between the previous waves and the current. In the first wave, a lot of healthcare workers were infected, many seriously and unfortunately lost their lives. In the second wave, healthcare workers were protected because of the lessons learned and vaccinations. In the third wave, what we are seeing is that healthcare workers are getting infected but not very sick.

Mr. Dilip Jose said The one thing to be noted is that the testing volume has certainly gone up in the last seven or eight days.

Dr. Sudarshan Ballal, in a debate on Fight Against Covid-19 vs Fight For Livelihood with Bhupen On INDIA AHEAD NEWS.

Dr Sudarshan Ballal said I think this is a very pertinent question for the day. The numbers of COVID, mostly Omicron, are spreading like wildfire, and getting out of control. However, in my mind, lockdown needs to be the last resort and we need to change of strategy.

Mr. Sameer Agarwal on Union Budget: Cut capital cost, give single-window clearances to the healthcare sector to ET CFO.

Mr. Sameer Agarwal said, The quickest thing to do is to provide capital at a lower cost because setting up a hospital is an expensive deal. Setting up a hospital requires 2.5 to 3 crore spending per bed, and there are a lot of laws that one has to comply with. There should be a single window provided to the health sector for setting up hospitals so that we don't need to go to multiple authorities for approvals,

Dr. Sudarshan Ballal penned an authored piece in order to spread awareness on Omicron Symptoms to Watch out For, How to Prepare for This Wave? in NETWORK NEWS 18.

Awareness programs to increase public participation in preventing the spread of this virus are also needed. Although in general Omicron is less virulent than the Delta variant, it spreads more rapidly. Hence if a large number of people get infected in a short period of time, with even a small percentage requiring institutionalized care, it may put some stress on the healthcare infrastructure, said Dr. Sudarshan Ballal.

Dr. Sudarshan Ballal draws some parallel between what happened between the first, second, and third waves of COVID - The Urban Debate on MIRROR NOW

I would like to draw some parallels between what happened between the first, second, and third waves of COVID. In the first wave, obviously, the healthcare workers were unprepared, and a large number of them became sick and some of the actions required state ICU, and unfortunately, quite a few also lost their lives. However, the second one which was extremely brutal, to some extent spared the healthcare workers because they were all vaccinated and far better prepared for personal protection. So even though the number of cases in the society was high, and the mortality was high, by and large, the health care workers were sort of spared. What we are seeing now is that this disease is spreading like wildfire doubling time of fewer than 48 hours, said Dr. Sudarshan Ballal, Chairman, Manipal Hospitals.
