Local physicians in WB to be trained in Covid care

The state health department has roped in IMA doctors to train family physicians who will tend to Covid patients in home isolation so they can get hospital care without delay in case symptoms develop. The move is being made to prevent patients reaching hospital late, leading to mortality in many cases. The decision was taken after a meeting between health officials, including health secretary Narayan Swaroop Nigam, director of medical education Debasis Bhattacharyya and IMA representatives at Swasthya Bhawan.
