44 percent of Indians feel the lack of trust in pharma companies caused more confusion during pandemic
Nearly 44 per cent of Indians felt that the lack of trust in pharma companies and vaccine makers resulted into more confusions during the pandemic, a recent health survey done by The Healthy Indian Project (THIP).
Lack of proper communication from the authorities and constantly-changing guidelines regarding vaccines were among the other top reasons with 40 per cent and 28 per cent of respondents polling for them respectively.
The THIP – CMR survey measured the health attitude of Indians after the pandemic. As high as 96 per cent of the Indians who polled in the survey said they will be more health aware from now on. As much as 89 per cent of the respondents said that they will be more careful in the short and the long term about fake health messages, while 95 per cent of the people shared that now onwards they would prefer to read up and stay updated about health.
The survey was done among 1,602 citizens between 18 to 50 years of age, residing across Delhi, Chennai, Bengaluru, Kolkata, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad and Pune.
