AHMEDABAD: The surge in
Covid-19 cases has put
healthcare workers in a tight spot.
“It’s has been a difficult year for us all. I hoped to spend Diwali and New Year with the family, but as the hospital started filling up fast, we were called back,” said a senior Civil Hospital doctor.
Dr Bharat Gadhvi, president of Ahmedabad Hospitals and Nursing Homes Association (AHNA), said most hospitals worked at a full strength. “With beds almost fully occupied, it was difficult to spare a single staffer,” he said.
