Chandigarh, May 11 (SocialNews.XYZ) Four more people from the city, including two doctors deployed at the Government Medical College and Hospital (GMCH) in Sector 32, were discharged from the PGI's Covid-19 Hospital on Monday. With this, the total number of those cured and discharged from the PGI has gone up to 24.
Commending the efforts of the Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER) team, PGI Director Jagat Ram said, "The discharge of every person is a success story for the Covid-19 team, strengthening our resolve to gear up further and win this battle against coronavirus."
Jagat Ram appreciated the discharged persons for their cooperation and trust in the hospital team and urged them to take forward the message of observing the precautions of wearing masks, hand washing and social distancing among the community.
"This will be your biggest service to the medical fraternity who are risking their own lives to save the lives of others," the PGI Director added.
Both the female doctors as well as the other two from Bapu Dham colony who were discharged had tested positive during routine screening, being the contacts of a healthcare worker at the GMCH who had tested positive earlier.
Post their positive report, all the four were referred from the GMCH to the PGI on April 27.
Though they had complications related to Covid-19, they remained stable throughout. With two tests coming negative consecutively, they were discharged after their stay of 14 days at the PGI.
Expressing their gratitude to the PGI team for their care and compassion, both the young doctors said that it was more of a mental fight than a physical one.
"We kept our cool, counted each day as one day and followed the advice of the doctors diligently to get cured," said one of the doctors.
The residents from Bapu Dham colony were pretty emotional at their send off as one of them said with folded hands, "The medical team has been the embodiment of the god to us. It is because of them that we are alive today."
