Sumario:Despite an extensive healthcare system in India, the COVID-19 Pandemic created havoc upon the existing Indian healthcare system by disrupting the supply of essential healthcare services to patients. It has also highlighted the significant-quality discrepancies of healthcare facilities between the rural-urban areas and between public and private healthcare providers. The not so advanced healthcare system of India was exposed through the lack of oxygen and essential drugs required for the treatment of COVID-19. Additionally, during the pandemic period there was a drastic decline in seeking non-COVID-19 disease related healthcare services. The objective of this systematic review is to determine whether COVID-19 has impacted the healthcare system in India.
