The level of commitment and dedication which was shown by the health workers all over globe and in India has been unthinkable and unprecedented reflecting their utter obligation in saving lives of billions. In India, they were on the forefront of the battle against Coronavirus and in this war lost precious lives who were handling the critical patients and got exposed to the deadly virus. Shocking and revealing was the World Health Organisation which reported that 80,000 to 180,000 healthcare workers may have been killed by COVID-19 up to May this year. WHO said the fact that millions of health workers remain unvaccinated is an “indictment” on the countries and companies controlling the global supply of doses. Despite the countless cases of virus, the warriors including doctors, nurses and paramedical staff and other hospital employees in India dedicated their lives and never cared for their own kin back home while serving across the country. This WHO report suffices for their resilience as it estimated that out of the planet’s 135 million health staff, between 80,000 to 180,000 health and care workers could have died from COVID-19 in the period between January 2020 to May 2021. WHO boss Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus was right in saying that the healthcare workers needed to be among the first immunised against the disease, as he slammed the global inequity in the vaccine roll-out. Data from 119 countries suggest that on average, two in five health and care workers globally are fully vaccinated. But of course, that average masks huge differences. In Africa, less than one in 10 health workers have been fully vaccinated. Meanwhile, in most high-income countries, more than 80 percent of health workers are fully vaccinated. There is a demand that all the countries should ensure that all health and care workers in every country are prioritised for COVID-19 vaccines, alongside other at-risk groups. WHO wants each country to have vaccinated 40 per cent of its population by the end of the year, but Tedros said 82 countries are at risk of missing that target, chiefly through insufficient supply. In high-income countries, as categorised by the World Bank, 133 doses have been administered per 100 people. In the 29 lowest-income nations, the figure drops to five. The novel coronavirus has killed at least 4.9 million people since the outbreak emerged in China in December 2019. Without reallocating the growing stockpile, the WHO’s latest forecast was that there could be 200 million more Covid cases, with five million lives hanging in the balance.
