?To our brave colleagues who have fallen in battle! ?, Published on his Facebook account, the president of the Order of Physicians, Eric Naivolala Andrianasolo, yesterday. Reached by phone, he has not confirmed the causes of the death of several doctors, which have occurred in recent times. ?We cannot say whether or not they succumbed to the coronavirus. We do not know the causes of their deaths, ?he says.
Dr Abela Ranaivosoa, president of the Union of Civil Servants, meanwhile, estimates that around ten doctors have died from coronavirus disease recently. ?These doctors are not all at the front in the fight against the coronavirus. Some have caught the virus in the community, ?said a doctor in a hospital. Several health professionals contracted the virus in this second wave of the epidemic. Private doctors, doctors from public hospitals are on the list of carriers of the virus. Because carriers of the virus also go to private practices and clinics. Many doctors are still being treated.
Staff less
?This is not a personal protective equipment (PPE) problem. Because we have enough PPE. The thing is, the current virus spreads very easily. A small gesture of inattention can be a vector of transmission ?, underlines a doctor.
With these many deceased health workers, those who are undergoing treatment, those who cannot work because they are vulnerable, the number of health personnel at the front in the fight against the coronavirus epidemic is decreasing.
?Certainly, the brave have fallen. But the troops get up and resume the fight, ?reassures Dr. Eric Andrianasolo. ?Today, the question is no longer to find those responsible, but to sensitize everyone to take part in this fight, with the means at our disposal. The Nation needs us health professionals now. Let's go to the front to save our compatriots! ?, Launches this president of the order of the doctors, at the place of his colleagues.
