Fellow health workers, you are all my heroes. You are what makes us all more human. Take care of yourselves as you take care of the people. When you emerge on the other side, know that no one could have done more or better, writes Dr Aslam Dasoo

Military might and economic power are like chaff in the wind of the global scourge of contagion.All our training, knowledge, ethos, empathy and compassion converge at times like this.

All in a day’s work, we blithely say, all the while harbouring our own dread like a heavy knot in our bosoms.We prevail because we aren’t elected or appointed by fiat, nor do we bend the knee to anti-scientific polemic. Don’t let the calm demeanour slip. Our patients are all subconsciously searching for signs of our fears. We’re in the business of life, despite walking alongside death every day and, though we lose to this imposter those we cannot save, we do not give it full sway.

We have been taken for granted, relegated to bit players by the hubris and egos of the political classes, abused and treated unfairly by uncaring bureaucracies, tolerated the insecurities of the untrained managers and clerks who wield their little powers like brutal clubs.

This money would be used to assist frontline medical workers. that is really disappointing why not give it directly to the cause in a way there is no ambiguity as to if it will be fairly distributed this cannot be certain with religious organisations would have been better to support doctors without borders
