Kejriwal tweeted, “Our doctors have served people day and night without sleeping for many days in the corona virus global pandemic, we cannot repay this debt of their life. Salute to all our doctors on ‘National Doctors Day 2021’, who saved millions of lives in this pandemic by saving their families from disintegration.”

There is no doubt that the doctors who put their lives on the line even in such adverse situations saved the lives of crores of people. If these doctors, who are called the second form of God on earth, had not been there, then almost half of the world’s population would have been wiped out by now.
