Indian Medical Association Says "382 Doctors Died Of Covid," Accuses Centre Of "Abandoning" Heroes
New Delhi: The Indian Medical Association has hit out the government for not including doctors in the statement given by Union health minister Dr Harshavadhan on coronavirus. The Medical body accuse the centre of "indifference and abdication", the association said so far, 382 doctors have died of coronavirus.
The IMA stated, "It faithfully conceals the morbidity and mortality of doctors, nurses and health care workers... It appears that they are dispensable. No nation has lost as many doctors and health care workers like India."
"Doctors suffer 4 times mortality of ordinary citizens and Private Practitioners suffer 8 times mortality on the same scale. To feign that this information doesn't merit the attention of the nation is abominable," it added.
If the government doesn't "maintain the statistics of total number of doctors and health care workers infected by Covid 19 and the statistics of how many of them sacrificed their life due to the pandemic, it loses the moral authority to administer the Epidemic Act 1897 and the Disaster Management Act," the IMA said.
Such a circumstance also exposes the "hypocrisy of calling them corona warriors on one hand and denying them and their families the status and benefits of martyrdom," the IMA said.
