Actor Gurmeet Choudhary has tied up with a team of young doctors (pan India) to launch Covi-Med, a free tele-consultation service for home isolated patients with mild to moderate symptoms so that they don't panic, don't self medicate and most importantly they don't need to leave their houses for immediate help. Gurmeet has tied up with 19 young doctors across the country who will be available from 10 am to 8 pm via two numbers on Whatsapp Messenger for any doubts related to the ongoing crisis. Not only will the team of doctors provide medical consultation, but they are also armed with the knowledge on how to deal with the anxiety that comes with whilst testing positive for Covid-19, a disease that may have taken over the world but can very much be cured at home in isolation if the right care and medication are given for mild cases.
The team of doctors of Covi-Med will consult through two operating Whatsapp numbers. Once the patient sends them a message, they will ask for their details and medical history and a registered practitioner will call them back ASAP. They will advise and treat mild to moderate symptoms of covid patients in home isolation, provide medical opinion if in need of hospitalisation, deal with all mental health related queries, provide post Covid C. The team of doctors behind this initiative with Gurmeet Choudhary headlining the same is Dr. Rupraj Abhishek, Dr. S. H. Warsi, Suchitra Verma, and Dr. Rajshree to name a few. Gurmeet and his wife Debina Bonnerjee had tested positive for the coronavirus in September 2020. Recently, the actor had shared that after being inspired by Sonu Sood’s humanitarian work during the pandemic, he too wants to help people as the country deals with the second wave of the pandemic. Debina too had taken to her social media platforms to appeal all that people who have recovered from Covid-19 should donate plasma for the treatment of patients are severely ill due to the virus, she too has donated plasma.
