We must not forget that during the previous Covid waves, when the country was in a state of emergency and people were dying, doctors left their homes and served people like crazy.

We cannot afford to lose these precious things. gems in a time when the country needs a full medical army to protect its citizens,” the doctors’ body said.
The safety and well-being of the people of our country depends on whether you ensure the availability of adequate medical personnel so that there is no shortage of human resources in the medical field.
