Description

The Covid-19 Pandemic disrupted lives across borders and created unprecedented pressures on the health and medical infrastructure. Frontline workers were at the forefront in handling efforts to curb its devastating effects on people's lives.

This volume looks at various challenges frontline workers and women, working tirelessly both in the privacy of homes as well as professionals in public spaces faced and their immense contribution to managing the pandemic. It examines the psycho-social and health implications the pandemic and its fallout has had on the professions and personal lives of healthcare workers, sanitary workers, police, teachers, household helps, sex workers, volunteers among others. Analysing the vulnerabilities and the adaptability of nursing personnel, doctors and administrators, it also offers suggestions for rebooting health-care systems and for putting in place support-systems to mitigate the adverse gendered impacts of the lockdowns and the spread of the disease.

Comprehensive and insightful, with essays from experts in different fields, this book will be of interest to students and researchers of public health, health care management, gender studies, public policy making, sociology, economics.
