A project to relieve pressure on doctors in India as a devastating second Covid-19 wave sweeps the country is being spearheaded from Somerset.
Prof Parag Singhal, the secretary of the British Association Of Physicians of Indian Origin (BAPIO), is offering online advice to junior doctors.
BAPIO is helping them on virtual ward rounds and raising funds to buy equipment for Indian hospitals. It s very tough. The stories are horrific, said Prof Singhal.
Prof Singhal, a specialist at the Weston General Hospital in Weston-super-Mare, said efforts using telemedicine aimed to pass on what has been learned in the UK over the last year.
