Indian-origin doctor in Australia defies distance to help Covid-hit Indians with medical aid
Sydney doctor Yadu Singh

It was 4 am in eastern Australia, and finally, bleary-eyed, the veteran cardiologist had found a hospital bed for his niece's husband.
The patient would have to endure a gruelling eight-hour drive out of virus-swamped Delhi, but at the end of the road lay the promise of oxygen, and with it, a chance for survival.
