Indian doctors are saving the lives of patients in Bangladesh without caring about their own lives

Violence continues in Bangladesh even after the coup. Shops, houses, religious places are being set on fire. Hundreds of people have lost their lives in the violence. Around 19,000 Indians are living in Bangladesh amidst the violence. Many such reports are coming from the neighboring country, in which it is said that minorities are being targeted.
Increased workload on doctors
Despite this, Indian doctors present in Bangladesh are engaged in saving lives. Indian doctors present in Bangladesh informed news agency PTI that the number of casualties has increased tremendously in many hospitals of Dhaka. The doctors present in the hospital there have become overburdened. Still, the Indian doctors present there are performing their duty.
Doctors working for 17-18 hours
A doctor serving at a Dhaka hospital told over the phone that the patients coming to the hospital have suffered pellet injuries, gunshot wounds and knife wounds. The number of casualties has increased after fresh clashes between protesters and police on Monday night. There is a huge shortage of resources and we are working 17-18 hours a day.
More than 100 people have been killed in violence that spread across Bangladesh after Sheikh Hasina resigned as Prime Minister and fled the country on Monday.
'It is our duty to serve our patients'
Another doctor from Gujarat said, “Our parents are worried about our safety, but we took an oath to protect people's lives while completing our degree. It is our duty to serve them and the hospitals need us in these difficult times.”
However, doctors said the situation seemed to be improving on Tuesday morning as the curfew was lifted and shops, businesses and other establishments were slowly resuming their operations.
The situation in Bangladesh is gradually improving
A doctor from Jammu and Kashmir and president of the Indian Medical Students' Association in Bangladesh said, “There is no threat to foreign nationals in the current situation. I feel absolutely safe. The clashes are between protesters and political organisations. Those who are not part of the protests, like me, do not feel any security concerns.”
Till Monday, it was like there was no law and order. However, the situation improved on Tuesday. We saw people resuming their work on the streets and businesses.”
He further added, “My parents want me to return home but the hospitals here need us. Sometimes, we spend four consecutive days in the hospital to take care of patients. The most important thing is that if we leave now, we will have to complete our internship period later.”
