Bihar has highest number of death of doctors due to Covid-19: IMA
Bihar has reported the most number of deaths of doctors in the second wave ofCovid-19 pandemicin the country. Altogether 90 doctors from Bihar have lost their lives till now in the second wave of the pandemic out over 280 doctors across the country so far as perIndian Medical Association(IMA). Bihar is followed by Uttar Pradesh and Delhi in terms of doctors dying due to the fatal disease.
The national patients- doctor ratio is 1.4 doctor per 1,000 patients but the corresponding ratio in Bihar is one doctor for 2400 people. Roughly, there are around 30,000 registered doctors in the state against the Population of 12.5crores, out of which 18,000 work in government sector and remaining do private practice.
As per a hypothesis, these fewer doctors did not get any rest for more than a year while facing the pandemic from very close. Consequently, they were exhausted, which adversely affected their immunity, which led to severity of the disease in many cases.National and International Affairs
