In light of the above, systematized research is needed to understand the change, if any, in the dynamics of patient care, satisfaction, and post-surgical outcomes with regards to revised infrastructure and policies in hospitals in the wake of infectious pandemics like COVID-19. During study period, there were confirmed COVID-19 cases among health care workers (5 cases) and patients (11 cases) in our hospital, and the hospital administration implemented new polices and strict preventative measures to minimize the rate of adverse surgical outcomes among patients, which is also confirmed by the higher level of patient's satisfaction as detailed above.	./cache/cord-262987-7h91n9ro.txt	./txt/cord-262987-7h91n9ro.txt
