In his tweet, the fomer doctor of AIIMS said that pinning the pictures helps in counseling the COVID-19 patients and helps them to recognise the faces behind the PPE kits who have been treating them selflessly amid the global pandemic crisis.
While sharing the novel idea adopted by the healthcare workers and doctors of a COVID-19 centre in Arunachal Pradesh, Yadav urged other COVID centres across the country to follow the idea. The doctors were inspired by an AMerican doctor, who carried out this initiative to help the patients.
