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.

Dr. Sudarshan Ballal representing Karnataka Task Force on Reality Check on What Center Must Change In Handling Omicron: India's Top Doctors on NDTV.
Dr Sudarshan Ballal said, Obviously as was mentioned, by all of us, the number of cases is going up exponentially. Bangalore has probably about 80% of the total number of cases in Karnataka. Just one small comment I wanted to make before I move further. You showed the mortality has not changed in the last week or so. However, we must look at the fact that we still have not completely transitioned to Omicron. We still have a fair number of delta cases in certain cities.

Mr. Sojwal Vora in an authored article on Healthcare Supply Chain: Lessons from The Pandemic in DECCAN HERALD Today.
While each industry was pushed to adapt to different challenges, healthcare institutions were probably given the heaviest of all amongst responsibilities - that of pulling their respective nations out of the deadliest pandemics the world had seen in over 100 years. Like many other associates, the Supply Chain teams too faced the rising challenges the pandemic had brought, with great gusto, said Mr. Sojwal Vora, Chief Supply Chain Officer, Manipal Hospitals.
