99 docs died of Covid, 1,300+ affected

印度1300多名医生确诊，99名医生死于新冠肺炎

MUMBAI: At least 99 doctors have died of Covid-19 and 1,302 were affected in India, the Indian Medical Association (IMA) said on Wednesday. The doctors’ body said the case fatality rate stood at a significant 8%. Maharashtra accounted for over 20% of the deaths in doctors, highest among states.

孟买：印度医疗协会(IMA)周三表示，目前印度至少有99名医生死于新冠肺炎, 1302名医生确诊。该机构表示医生的病死率高达8%。在医生死亡人数中，马哈拉施特拉邦占20%以上，是各邦中最高的。

IMA said it had created a database to document infections among healthcare workers. According to IMA’s National Covid Registry, 74% deaths were in the 50 years plus age group, while 19% were among 35-50 years. There were seven deaths of doctors younger than 35. IMA’s numbers are limited to private sector and do not reflect the burden of infections among doctors in public sector. Of the 1,302 infected, 586 were private consultants, 566 resident doctors and 150 house surgeons. “If Covid mortality has to be reduced, it has to start with doctors and hospitals,” said IMA president Dr Rajan Sharma.

IMA表示，他们已经建立了一个数据库来记录医护人员的感染情况。根据IMA的统计，年龄在50岁以上死亡医生占74%，135-50岁占19%，有7名死亡医生的年龄低于35岁。IMA的数据仅限于私立医院，并不能反映公立医院医生的感染负担。在1302名确诊医生中，586名是私人顾问、566名是住院医生，150名是外科住院医生。IMA主席拉詹·夏尔马博士说：“如果要降低新冠肺炎的死亡率，就必须从医生和医院开始。”

In Mumbai, 1,000-plus healthcare workers have been affected in public and private hospitals. KEM and Sion hospitals have seen over 300 infections each. The city has also seen nine deaths among doctors.

在孟买的公立和私立医院有1000多名护工确诊。KEM和Sion两家医院都有超过300名护工确诊。该市有9名医生死于新冠肺炎。

IMA president (Maharashtra) Dr Avinash Bhondwe said the state had neglected the safety of private practitioners and left them vulnerable by failing to streamline availability of personal protective equipment (PPE) and ensuring their prices were capped. He said many smaller hospitals were arbitrarily taken over without ensuring they had resources. “Many of these hospitals were unfit to become Covid centres but were coerced,” said Bhondwe, adding that private doctors were not even extended the Centre’s insurance cover.

马哈拉斯特拉邦IMA主席阿维纳什·邦德威博士说，政府忽视了私立医院医生的安全，没有供应足够的防护服，也没有控制价格上限，这让他们很容易受到感染。他说，在没有确保所需物资供应的情况下，许多规模较小的医院被随意征用。邦德威说:“许多这样的医院不适合成为新冠肺炎治疗中心，但它们是被强制征用的。”他补充说，私立医院的医生甚至没有获得中央提供的保险。

Maharashtra Medical Council president Dr Shivkumar Utture said issues on availability and quality of PPE were unresolved even after four months. “Only fabric used for PPE is checked for standardisation and not the complete kit,” he said

马哈拉施特拉邦医疗委员会主席希夫库马尔·乌图尔博士说，防护服供应和质量问题历经4个月仍未得到解决。他说:“只检查了防护服所用的织物是否符合标准，而没有检查整套装备。”

Really sad.. No words to express.. God bless them and their families

很伤心. .无以言表。愿神保佑医生及其家人

Akash Sarma

That's extremely sad for our corona warriors. If we loose such a huge number of doctors then who will treat the patients. Hope our Health Department takes this seriously and not make a illogical comments on this.

牺牲了这么多抗疫战士，极其悲痛。如果医生死了，谁来治疗病人。希望卫生部门认真对待此事。

Medical field not free of corruption either. I have seen how the Med reps run after doctors and behind closed door affairs in big hospitals. Those who take money to issue death cert

医疗界也不是没有腐败。我见过医药代表在医院贿赂医生。有些医生要收了钱才给签发死亡证明。

Jafar Fareedy

RIP.....Many infected and later died at the begng of Pandemic when there was a shortage of PPE and basics to operate health systems..Thanks to the slee Govts

安息吧 .....疫情开始时缺乏防护装备，很多医生感染病毒死了。这都是因为不作为的政府。

Dilip 4 Caa

Extremely shocking

令人震惊

Sashi kiran

The word corona warrior in India is a big joke. The health care workers are not armed enough. The PPE kit is substandard. Health care workers being soft targets are abused time and again.The salary is reduced to less than 50%. Is this the way a soldier is treated in times of war?

在印度，“抗疫战士”是个大笑话。医护人员没有足够的防护装备，而且质量还不合格。医疗工作者更容易感染，工资还降了50%。在战时，我们也是这么对待士兵的吗?

Ashish Jain

India should be very careful now with covid numbers since Israel after bringing it down is seeing a second wave. What is worrying is second wave is stronger than the first wave and that's why we need to be super super careful now.

印度应该重视疫情，以色列确诊数量降低后，又出现了第二波疫情。令人担忧的是，第二波比第一波更强劲，所谓我们现在需要非常非常小心。

Suneet Sood

Those doctors who agreed to treat COVID 19 patients: they are no less brave than our soldiers on the borders. My head bows in respect.

那些治疗新冠肺炎患者的医生和边境上的士兵们一样勇敢，致敬。

Doctors need to take care and their life is precious to everyone and we cannot afford to lose them

医生也要小心，对每个人来说，他们的生命都是宝贵的，我们不能失去他们

K Mohan Hyderabad city

More 1300 doctors are affected and IMA should ask the govt to give more attention to doctors welfare

1300多名医生感染，印度医疗协会应该要求政府为医生提供更多福利

Mumbai has been the worst affected and the doctors who are rendering the treatment are also died

孟买的疫情最严重，治疗患者的医生都在死去

WHO is a useless NGO type death watcher . All employees enjoy hefty salaries and sip wine . Do whatever ( earlierUS) would say.

世卫组织一无是处，所有员工都享受着丰厚的薪水，畅饮美酒。让他们干什么就干什么(以前听美国的)。

Vishal Kumar

NO ONE is talking about .. Health system of India. Why we donot have system like NHS(UK) ?

Massive corruption in the Heath system.

Stop caste based reservation in the Heath system..... Or be ready for worse..........

没人谈论印度的医疗体系。为什么我们没有像英国NHS那样的医疗系统?

印度卫生系统腐败严重。在医疗系统中，要取消基于种姓的预留名额，否则将面临更严重的后果……

Pradeep

The government has just pushed the doctors to do work without even providing for adequate safety kits, not giving timely payment, threatening time and again with various draconian Acts, etc..Government has only done one thing. Labelled the doctors as corona warriors and allowed them to fend themselves.

政府要求医生救人，却没有提供足够的防护装备，而且不按时付工资。政府只做了一件事，把医生称为抗疫战士，让他们自力更生。

aaaa bbbb

Need to protect this frontline warriors.

我们需要保护这些抗疫前线的战士。

Desh Premi

Super Hero Doctors!

All around the worl, the health care workers are the real super hero's during this pandemic who all deserve a special recognition. Politicians deserve NO credit at all for the mess created by their ignorance.

在世界各地，医务工作者是这场大流行期间真正的超级英雄，他们都应该得到特别的表彰。政客们的疏忽造成了混乱，他们一点也不值得称赞。

伤心，心都碎了。政府至少应该为医生提供足够的防护装备。但我们的政府只会说，不会做。
