The Standing Committee on Health highlighted shortages of medical oxygen and hospital beds. The government seems to have ignored its report.

As the second wave of the pandemic rips through the country, the public is asking two big questions. How prepared was the government? Did it anticipate a crisis of this magnitude to hit India?

Turns out, the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Health and Family Welfare produced a report in which it did a SWOT – strength, weaknesses, opportunities, threats – analysis back in November 2020, and predicted a severe second wave. It also noted oxygen and medicine shortages during the first wave and presented a clear picture of the chaos that would ensue if these gaps were not plugged. They weren’t and we are seeing the results now, many months later.

The committee of 31 MPs was led by Samajwadi Party’s Ram Gopal Yadav. Its report, “The outbreak of pandemic Covid-19 and its management”, was submitted to the speaker’s office on November 25 and presented to both the Rajya Sabha and the Lok Sabha on February 2, during the budget session this year.

Threats and weaknesses

In the “threats” and “weaknesses” sections of the analysis, the committee concluded that India could see an “unpredictable pandemic with possibility of second wave like in Europe”, not least because “spikes in Covid cases are still being seen in affected regions and India is yet to reach its peak”.

The day the report was presented to the Rajya Sabha chairman, India recorded 45,301 new cases, taking the total to over 90 lakh.
