CM lauds RCH hospital nurses

Rajkot: “The entire Gujarat and the country take pride in all of you who are waging the war against coronavirus by becoming Covid warriors.”

This statement made by chief minister Vijay Rupani breathed a wave of fresh enthusiasm in the hearts of nurses of Covid-19 Hospital on Rajkot Civil Hospital campus who have been on their toes battling the global pandemic.

The CM was addressing the nursing staff of the hospital through video conferencing after the state government declared the year 2020 as ‘Nurse and midwife year’.

“The fact that the CM acknowledged our role in the fight against Covid-19, filled our hearts with a new energy,” says Kajal Sodhatar, who has been serving as a nurse with the civil hospital for the past 13 years.

Sodhatar has to leave her four-year-old daughter at home with her mother every day when she has to leave for the hospital.

“My mother was also a nurse. I feel proud of the fact that my family has served the mankind in this noble profession of medicines,” she says.
