- HT Correspond­ent

: The Provincial Medical Services Associatio­n (PMSA), a body of government doctors in Uttar Pradesh, has demanded that beds be reserved in Covid-19 hospitals for medical staff on duty.

In a letter sent to the chief minister’s office, PMSA president Sachin Vaish and general secretary Amit Singh said, “Apart from a few beds at PGI and KGMU in Lucknow, each district must reserve a few beds for doctors on Covid-19 duty so that the medical staff can work without any apprehensi­on.”

“Doctors are working hard to bring results and reserving beds

will make them more comfortabl­e. We have to take care of our doctors and those falling ill need immediate medical care to get well soon and return to

duty,” said Singh.

A large number of doctors and paramedica­l staff have fallen ill due to infection in the state.
