COVID-19 pandemic has clearly shown lack of global readiness to address such an emergency with efficacy. The variability of decision making of how to tackle the problem, in different nations, has led to a wide disparity in the rates of morbidity and mortality. The conventional modalities of controlling the pandemic have often failed. As a consequence, the need to rethink about healthcare systems has emerged. Openness is perceived, for the first time, to explore traditional medicine to enhance innate immunity and to increase disease-resistance against viral-epidemics. The younger generation has a broader global and trans-cultural appreciation of health care. It is suggested that there is a need to grab the initiative to conduct integrative health-care research by state-of-the-art scientific methods. Such research would include valid experiential and observational data rather than merely emphasizing double-blind controlled trials.Keywords
