On being refused permission to work as volunteers in the flood-hit districts of Bihar, 18 doctors from AIIMS took leave from hospital and did what their hearts wanted them to do, on their own time.
When the Union health ministry turned down their request for leave, they went on leave without pay and traveled to Bihar with their own money. âSoon, our savings will run out and we wonât have money left to stay on. We know our duty is to
help those in need but a little support from the government would have made it possible for us to stay here longer,â says
Dr Harsh, who returned on September 21 after spending almost eight days there.
