The COVID Pandemic Is a Paradigm Shift - Varun Khanna, Director at Siloam Hospitals Group, Indonesia
“I don't see a scientific way of saying that one fine day COVID-19 will vanish. We'll have to learn to manage life alongside infectious diseases, whether it's COVID-19 or something else,” says Varun Khanna. As a leader of one of Indonesia’s largest hospital systems, Khanna is currently engulfed with managing the present surge there, but he’s giving a lot of thought to how things will look when the acute stage of the pandemic has passed. Among other impacts, he believes COVID has prompted significant changes in lifestyle, behavioral health needs, and how people want to interact with the healthcare system. “It’s going to be a paradigm shift in our lives.” Check out this incisive discussion for an on the ground look at the current COVID battle, the challenges of trying to care for 270 million people over widely dispersed territory and the multinational future of healthcare.
