Doctors, Health-care Workers and Fight against COVID-19
Needless to say, doctors, nurses and people working in health-care sectors are particularly vulnerable to the highly infectious disease. In response to the global pandemic, the under-resourced doctors are facing unprecedented challenges. The list of the sleep-deprived heroes includes doctors, nurses, medical cleaners, pathologists, paramedics, ambulance drivers, and health-care administrators. In the fight against coronavirus, the brave medical army stands strong with thermometers, stethoscopes, and ventilators as their weapons. Not to forget, medical researchers are working day in and night out against all odds, hoping to find the antidote to the disease.

My elder sister who is a doctor now, have gone through a lot while this covid times and when asked to share her side of the story as how she managed her medical duties and family alongside, while we all were unaware of her hard times saving life while losing her father. Doctor ‘AALIYA ABDUL JABBAR’— WE ALL ARE SO PROUD OF YOU.

‘’Since childhood, I dreamt of becoming one. In addition, it was my parents and forefathers’ vision too. My journey is no less than a bumpy ride. I always admired this profession and was given emphasis too in my family, until one day I found out about the disastrous incidents my parents had to go through. My father lost his mother (my grandmother) at the tender age of 11 due to blood cancer, discovered later. He lost his first child due to viral encephalitis, due to the negligence of a doctor. Coming from a background where nobody knows what this Profession is and looks like. I had to embark on this journey to full fill the wishes of myself and my family. And hence, I was honoured with the most noble degree one day and I am now the Dr. Aaliya Abdul Jabbar, also only possible due to the sacrifices my family made.
