India lost seven times more doctors than soldiers in 2020

India Today  

The bigger battle in the year 2020 was fought in hospitals, where several frontline health workers lost their lives in the line of duty during the coronavirus pandemic. At least 734 doctors died in their line of duty while 106 personnel of the security forces made supreme sacrifices in the last year. In addition, the unavailability of adequate number of Personal protective equipment kits made the doctors over-exposed to the infection, leading to a higher number of deaths,” Dr Harjit Singh Bhatti, Former President of AIIMS Resident Doctors’ Association, told the Data Intelligence Unit of India Today. However, this rule was gradually overlooked as the caseload surged, and the doctors got tested only after acquiring significant symptoms, Dr Bhatti added, who is the National President of Progressive Medicos & Scientists Forum. Co-morbidity is one of the major reasons behind the high number of doctors’ deaths due to Covid-19, said Dr Binay Sharma, Additional Chief Medical Officer, Muzaffarpur.
