Pandemic teaches everyone a lesson in gratitude and appreciation
More than a year since they started tending to COVID-19 patients, healthcare workers have remained the support that the families could not offer to patients. Doctors, nurses, ward boys, ambulance drivers and mortuary workers have calmed agitated patients and reassured terrified families as they continue their work. Many of them have to stay away from their families and children. These tireless people who work behind the screens have earned the appreciation and gratitude of patients and their families.
