Dr Inder Mohan Gupta, SMO, Civil Hospital, has been performing a challenging duty at this time of the Covid-19 crisis. On the instructions of the district administration, Dr Gupta, who is also an orthopedic surgeon, established 115 isolation beds for admitting Covid-19 patients to newly built three-storey Mother and Child Hospital on the Civil Hospital premises.

Dr Gupta’s timely efforts helped the administration combat the coronavirus as the district, which was earlier in the green zone, has now entered the red zone as the number of Covid-19 patients has suddenly increased. The count of positive cases has crossed the 160-mark. The patients have been kept in the isolation ward of the Civil Hospital and Guru Nanak Dev Super Specialty Hospital in Tarn Taran under the supervision of SMO Dr IM Gupta.

Keeping fear at bay, Dr. Gupta has been keeping a close watch on all patients admitted to the Civil Hospital with the help of his colleagues.

Dr Gupta gets ready at 6 am and works for the patients till late night. He remains available round the clock to handle any emergency situation.

He avoids visiting his family members, who put up in Amritsar, 25 km away from Tarn Taran. His wife Dr Leena Mahajan is a senior anesthesiologist at Guru Nanak Dev Hospital in Amritsar. She also looks after Covid-19 patients, who are on ventilator and in ICU. The doctor couple has been setting an example by working with utmost care at this time of crisis.

Dr Gupta said, “The pandemic has changed our approach. Till date, we were fixing bones, but now we have been working to break the chain of Covid-19.”

Boosting the moral of his colleagues and health personnel and making preventive gear available for them are his top priorities. He proudly praises his staff who have been working tirelessly in isolation wards. “We must do our work sincerely and nature will take care of everything,” he said. Meditation, selfless service to humanity and prayers for the well-being of all keep him focused as he keeps a close eye on various guidelines and protocols required to tackle the pandemic.
