in eight-hour shift. Donning a PPE kit through the day makes her lose a lot of water from her body through excessive sweating. During the month of
Ramzan, it becomes all the more difficult for her to remain hydrated.
“But I got the strength from the
Divine. As a nurse, how can I stay away from duty during roza (fast)? Getting a bit of weakness is very common, but never have I deterred from my duties or from observing the month of Ramzan,” said Zeba.
Civil Hospital authorities said that Zeba is a mother of a three-and-a-half-year-old girl, and her mother is a cancer patient. Her husband is a trader in Prantij. She has handled all the fronts with élan, they said. “On ordinary days, we drink about 3-4 litres of water to remain hydrated, but during Ramzan, I used to have my sehri (morning meal) at 3am and
iftar
(evening meal) at 7 pm. Due to duty, it often used to take place at the hospital, but I got everyone’s support,” she said. “All religions have utmost regard for serving others, and I am proud of saving many lives through my work.”
