Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday hailed the role of doctors in their "spirited" fight against the COVID-19 pandemic, saying they are saving lives by putting themselves in danger.
"India salutes our doctors -- exceptional care givers who are at the forefront of a spirited fight against COVID-19," he wrote on Twitter to mark Doctors' Day.
In a short video of his recent speech, he said while mother's give birth, doctors ensure our rebirth.
They are saving lives by putting themselves in danger, he said.
