National Doctors' Day: Harsh Vardhan Lauds Medicos for Going Beyond Call of Duty During Covid

News 18  

Union Health Minister Harsh Vardhan on Thursday applauded doctors for going beyond the call of duty to attend to their patients during the COVID-19 pandemic and help the nation overcome its gravest challenge in over a century. History shall bear witness that when the time came and humanity needed to be saved, it was the doctors who stepped up to answer the call of duty," Vardhan was quoted as saying in a Health Ministry statement. "We saw enthusiastic medical students, young and barely a few years into their adulthood, well aware of the risks, ready to pick up the mantle to help the nation overcome its gravest challenge in over a century!," the health ministry said. Although the medical profession has been always considered a noble one and indeed many patients consider doctors as no less than god, COVID-19 has made this much more evident, Vardhan said.
