India Beyond the Pandemic is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding how the Covid-19 pandemic has both challenged and changed the Indian healthcare system, and the valuable lessons learnt as we moved forward into a post-pandemic era. The book, in a very readable manner, discusses the challenges faced by different countries, including India, during those trying times. It sheds light on the inconsistent global responses and the concerning lack of transparency that one saw across various facets, , including data dissemination and basic information sharing. This led to an infodemic on social media platforms, posing unforeseen challenges during the crisis.
