We will continue to work round the clock, fighting corona despite all odds. We will go all out to serve the patients and justify our job.” On July 1, we are appearing for examinations for PG and it is coincidence.” It is a coincidence we are appearing for Post Graduation (PG) exam on the day we are celebrating doctors day this year, he added.
Dr Vina Sinha, additional director health, said, “Doctors contribution is unforgettable. I recently got well from corona infection. People should realize that it is doctors who are fighting round the clock on the front lines of this pandemic even knowing that the infection might prove fatal for them as well. While serving and performing their duties they themselves are dying. Doctors should continue to work with same dedication and commitment as God has bestowed upon them the duty to serve the humanity in these difficult times.”
Raj Kumar Pandey, IT Cell NHM, said, “Doctors stood there boosting the moral of the patients and this helped us ( the patients) to remain calm.

AIIMS Director Dr Sarman Singh said he wants to pay tributes to those who lost their life due to coronavirus. “Our doctors worked whole heartedly.
