Dr. Rahila Shaikh

The Indian doctors have shown exemplary courage during the COVID-19 pandemic as they risked their lives while dealing with the virus first hand by treating and curing the COVID-19 patients. However, there were some doctors who may not be treating the COVID-19 patients but they were still doing a great job by treating those patients who were suffering from other diseases. Many hospitals were converted into dedicated COVID-19 hospitals and patients of other diseases were not treated over there. At one fell swoop, it won't be wrong to say that many people were scared of even entering the hospitals at that time so some doctors gave online consultations and helped many patients.

Dr. Rahila Shaikh is one such doctor who was very busy during the COVID-19 pandemic, she is a Unani consultant, True Healer and a Health Coach with a pretty good experience of 12 years.

In the times of the COVID-19 pandemic, many patients who were suffering from different diseases faced difficulties as they were not getting treated at the hospitals and there were also many who didn't even want to visit a hospital as they were scared of catching the infection.
