Celebrity chef Sanjeev Kapoor will be providing free meals to over 500 doctors who are treating Covid-19 patients at the state-run civil hospital in Ahmedabad. The medical professionals have been at the frontline in the fight against the pandemic since last year.
Sanjeev Kapoor has received financial support from other philanthropists for starting this meal service for doctors. He has appointed 12 chefs to prepare three meals a day for over 500 doctors who are serving at the Ahmedabad hospital.
Ahmedabad civil hospital is a 1,200-bed Covid facility located in the Asarwa area. The hospital is considered to be the biggest civil hospital in Asia.
Sanjeev Kapoor was quoted saying that if the doctors on Covid-19 duty are provided with healthy and nutritious food, it will inject new energy into them, and the doctors can then look after their patients better.
According to the hospital administration, Sanjeev Kapoor had sent a proposal two days back to provide free meals for the hospital doctors. The administration had accepted the proposal and expressed gratitude for the offer.
