Though containing the covid pandemic even after continuing slowdown in it’s intensity remains a priority for the people, the health specialists and law enforcers in Jammu & Kashmir but during last three years of pandemic new health issues including mental health of children, the increasing intensity in heart attacks among youth resulting in sudden deaths of most of the patients and urological disorders of acute nature. Increasing stress triggered by the economic, slowdown and increasing joblessness during last three years of the pandemic is obviously the cause of mental health complications among children and as such the revival of the economic activities for the purposes of reducing both the joblessness and as well as the stress on the hearts and minds of the youth is increasingly becoming the area of core attention for the both the planners and administrators in Jammu & Kashmir like many states and union territories of the country. By all standards of understandabilities the employment oriented economic revival comes next to upgradation of normal health facilities in the long list of priorities for the planners and administrators after the recent unprecedented drop in the intensity of covid-19 pandemic. Strict adherence to covid appropriate behaviour is good just for containing and controlling the intensity of covid pandemic but there is no short cut to contain and control normal health care issues like increasing mental health complications and heart related disorders keeping in view the fact that even most of the covid patients have died either due to mental stress or heart attacks during last three years of pandemic. Deaths caused due brain hemorrhage showing an unprecedented rise is also as good a life consuming disease as is covid or cancer and as such it is proved beyond doubt that the normal health issues demand an immediate attention of health specialists in Jammu & Kashmir.
After issuing strict guidelines for covid appropriate behaviour in educational institutions the vaccination drive for children and full revival of the normal healthcare facilities remain the biggest challenges for both the people and as well as the health specialists in both Kashmir valley and Jammu division.
Focus on normal healthcare issues is as demanding as is the strict adherence in the covid appropriate behaviour but times greater focus on covid appropriate behaviour would be on schools, colleges and universities reopening amid low intensity of covid pandemic after a long break of about three years. After issuing strict guidelines for covid appropriate behaviour in educational institutions the vaccination drive for children and full revival of the normal healthcare facilities remain the biggest challenges for both the people and as well as the health specialists in both Kashmir valley and Jammu division.
