The New Indian Express Hubballi
|November 03, 2025
ONLY 500 families of doctors who succumbed to COVID-19 during the first and second waves have been compensated by the government so far, latest RTI data has revealed.
Though the union government has always maintained that they don't have data on the total number of doctors who died during the pandemic, the Indian Medical Association (IMA) has put the number at nearly 1,600.
According to the RTI, the government has paid compensation to 500 families of doctors so far. The latest figure of families of doctors who have been compensated so far comes in the backdrop of the Supreme Court's order of October 28, which observed that "Society will not forgive us if we don't take care of our doctors and don't stand for them."
