World Mental Health Day is observed on 10th October every year. The COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 has posed many challenges. Issues such as fear of contracting the disease, fear of death, extended lockdowns, working from home, fear of losing jobs, uncertainty, personal finances etc. are having an adverse impact on the mental health of a person in particular and society in general. Therefore, the theme for 2020 for the Mental Health Day is aptly chosen as “Increased Investment in Mental Health”.

For us at Ziqitza Healthcare Ltd, as an Emergency Service Provider, we are at the forefront with the various state governments and corporates to ensure that our services which are so critical are not hampered at all. This has been possible due to commitment and resilience of our employees, franchise partners and support from our vendors. The Crew, CDC, regional and head office staff are working tirelessly with the government in making continuous arrangements for safe and efficient delivery of the emergency 108 ambulance services. The lockdown has been a very important strategy to deal with the pandemic. Our lives as we've known it has been turned upside down, and working under the current scenario may not seem like the best option.
