A Small Thanks for All You Do, For Caring…
The healthcare system is in a sever situation these days and medical workers are struggling to save the most possible lives in the global fight against the coronavirus, they are under terrible pressure to put their own health at risk contracting this novel virus, especially in countries like Italy, Iran, China, and South Korea where there are too many patients and sometimes lack of the medicine and machines they required. Unfortunately, a significant number of health professionals have been affected while meeting the needs of patients; being in the frontline and also exhaustion are the reasons that they have high vulnerability to infection.
There are lots of stories we hear each day about sacrifices by doctors and nurses during the fight against the novel coronavirus, too many overworks they handle, and those volunteers and unprotected forces on the front line…this is nothing but Heroism. COVID-19 may be a challenge in the following weeks, but we hope that with the help of the tireless medical forces; together we’ll beat it…
