The rise in post-pandemic health issues among people is a serious concern that was raised by health experts in a panel discussion on Thursday. The discussion was organised on the book `Mumbai Fights Back` co-authored by former Additional Municipal Commissioner Suresh Kakani with journalist Sumitra DebRoy. Dr Sanjay Oak, president, Maharashtra Covid Task Force and its member Dr Rahul Pandit were part of it.
The trio also shed light on their experiences of the Covid-19 period. Dr Oak discussed the incidents of increasing diseases in youth post Covid-19 and said there is a need for such healthcare facilities in both the private and public sectors. He also spoke on the increasing incidents of heart attack among the youth, rising need for dialysis among people, and the increasing graph of diabetes and hip surgery cases.
