Abstract:
During the crisis of Covid-19, healthcare workers (HCWs) face several challenges treating patients of
Covid-19, reducing the spread of infection; developing suitable short-term strategies; and formulating
long-term plans. The psychological burden and overall wellness of HCWs has received keen
awareness in news and research publications. Covid- 19 has negative impact on healthcare workers as
they suffered both physically and mentally while performing their duties of saving lives of patients.
This paper will highlight the various challenges faced by healthcare workers during this pandemic
and guidelines issued by the government for the protection of healthcare workers. Government has
enacted some laws for safeguarding healthcare workers against some insensitive and disrespectful act
of people in society. Presently the Covid -19 vaccines are ready and are being distributed to the
frontline worriers including healthcare workers in phases.
