Uddhav Thackeray said family doctors should focus on patients in home isolation so that if required, they can be shifted to hospitals timely.
Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray on Sunday stressed on the role of private doctors, specially family physicians, in the fight against COVID-19, saying they can help in early diagnosis of the infection in their patients and facilitate timely treatment for them. Addressing around 700 private doctors from across the state during a meeting held via video conference, Mr. Thackeray appealed to them to join hands with the state administration to curb spread of the viral infection. Mr. Thackeray said if family physicians keep a check on the treatment of their patients in home isolation and update ward officers regularly, the civic body concerned can make arrangements for their further treatment in a proper way.More Related News
