COLLECTING & DISSEMINATING COVID-19 DATA - FROM FRUSTRATION TO FRUITION

In the unprecedented COVID-19 situation, Medical Directorate needed to get near-real-time data for decision making and policy formulation. Crisis Management Cell was hence established with a vision to act as a data collection point and repository for Armed Forces COVID-19 PCR positive cases. Its for...
