Chennai, May 20: India, with a huge population of 1.38 billion, is
facing a daunting task of fighting this battle against COVID 19 and it is
certainly rewriting human history. The number of people getting infected is on
the rise with current figure of over 96,000 in India and 3,029 have lost their
lives, including doctors and many other health professionals. The world is
looking at a calamity, worse than a world war and with no end in sight.
Mental health problems are likely to increase exponentially amongst
health care workers as the impact of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19)
deepens. It is shaking the entire health establishment of the world. Imagine
the plight of COVID warriors who are directly involved in the care of the
patients battling for life.
Doctors and other health practitioners are frontline warriors of COVID
battle and it's very important that they maintain good mental health to fight
this war. To boost the morale and raise the spirit of fellow doctors and health
care workers fighting in
the frontline against COVID-19, a beautiful initiative was taken by Dr
T Deepashree, Dr Sai Surender and Dr K Meena to bring together more than 100
doctors from over 35 different hospitals in Tamil Nadu especially from Chennai.
They came together with one common goal and mission and they say “Be
the hope, Together we can, Together we will, Because we care” and dedicate a
video dancing away the troubles with some music on.
The music video titled ‘Tamil Nadu doctors beat COVID-19 Blues’ which
was released as a part of the ‘Be the Hope’ initiative, features several
healthcare professionals who can be seen breaking into a jig and shaking a leg
as they sing along with ‘All is Well’ and ‘Don’t Worry, Be happy’, and a
mash-up of songs.
This has certainly brought all the health care workers together under
one umbrella of unity and that is the way forward to fight this pandemic with
good mental health.
