New Delhi: Considering the hard work of the COVID Warriors and their contribution in handling the pandemic scenario all over the country, the authorities of the Sir Ganga Ram Hospital has waived off the medical bills amounting to almost 4 lakh of a junior doctor who was tested COVID positive and was receiving treatment at the hospital.
This came after the father of the infected doctor submitted a letter to the hospital director requesting him to take care of the medical bills of the doctor as he contracted COVID while working in the COVID facility, besides they are incapable to deliver the sum.
The infected doctor was a 28-year-old MBBS who has been working on an ad hoc basis at the Delhi government-run Dr Baba Saheb Ambedkar (BSA) Medical Hospital and College for the last six months. He had been working in the hospital's flu clinic and then in its casualty ward until 23 June when he developed a fever. Four days later, on 27 June, he tested positive for Covid-19 and was admitted to the BSA hospital after he complained of difficulty in breathing. He was later shifted to Sir Ganga Ram Hospital on the 8th of July.
