The program, announced in March, provides an insurance policy of 50 lakh to approximately 22 lakh of public fitness workers, adding network fitness workers, who come into direct contact with covid-19 patients or threatened with infection. The insurance plan is scheduled to end on June 30.
The resolution comes when the number of covid cases reached 2.05 million on Friday and the death toll reached 42,026. The cure rate peaked at 68% to date and the mortality rate reached 2.05%.
Recoveries have increased to more than 1.4 million, with 49,769 patients recovering within 24 hours.
The average number of recovered instances (seven-day moving average) has increased from 26,000 to 44,000 in the last two weeks, the ministry said.
In view of the growing number of cases, the Ministry of Health, the Indian Medical Research Council (ICMR) and the Indian Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in New Delhi have to publish a national clinical record for covid-19. This will collect real-time insights to count clinical practice, research, rules, and evidence-based policy development.
“There is an urgent need for systematic collection of knowledge on clinical symptoms and symptoms, laboratory research, control protocols, clinical course of covid-19 disease, disease spectrum and patient outcomes,” the Ministry of Health said in a statement.
“This knowledge will serve as an invaluable tool for formulating appropriate patient control strategies, predicting the severity of the disease, patient outcomes, etc.,” the ministry added.
The clinical record will gather the knowledge of more than one hundred hospitals on the clinical and laboratory characteristics, remedy and outcomes of patients hospitalized with covid-19.
The main objectives will be the frequency, clinical and laboratory characteristics, remedies and results of covid-19-related multisist inflammatory disorders in young people and adolescents.
The secondary goals of the registry will be to use knowledge to study questions about covid-19, adding the progression of the disease based on herbs, the spectrum of disease, diagnosis and threat factors. The record will also include knowledge on results such as medicines and fitness systems, the ministry said.
The register will also seek context-specific knowledge such as covid-19 in patients with tuberculosis and malnutrition.
The registry will serve as a platform for additional clinical study studies at decided sites. It will also collect follow-up knowledge from covid-19 patients who have been discharged, if possible.
A uniform budget will be ready for sites (covid-19 hospitals) and mentoring institutes.
The duration of knowledge collection will be one year, ICMR said, adding that any patient showed through a covid-19 laboratory and entered and assembled the “inclusion criteria” of the will be recruited.
The research will be carried out centrally through a team of CIMR scientists. Knowledge will be used to generate hypotheses for disease parameters and the registration platform will be used in the long term for interventional studies.
