Dr Adarsh Pratap Singh, President, AIIMS Resident Doctors’ Association, said, “It is one thing to applaud and shower flower petals on healthcare workers but more important is to provide them proper facilities and safety.” India has more that 3 lakh coronavirus cases, and number is rising daily. “Doctors, nurses and other hospital staff are putting in long hours at work but don’t have proper quarantine facilities near hospitals.
