N. Bhaskara Rao, a doctor and Medical Officer of the Primary Health Centre (PHC) at the remote Karamchedu village in Prakasam district, had helped hundreds of people infected by COVID-19 stage a smart recovery, instilling in them the much-needed courage to combat the viral disease. The 38-year-old doctor had used all his persuasive skills to convince the villagers to undergo the COVID-19 test and get themselves vaccinated as the virus spread thick and fast. In the process, he himself had contracted the virus on April 24. Initially, he had taken treatment in Vijayawada. Later, he was shifted to a corporate hospital in Hyderabad as he suffered from “post-COVID fibrosis.”
