The Minister of Health and Wellness, Dr Kailesh Kumar Singh Jagutpal, met with front line workers of the Dr A.G. Jeetoo Hospital, today, to personally acknowledge their service and sacrifices in serving the population amidst the COVID-19 pandemic.

At the very outset, he stated that the year 2021 has been a very difficult year, with the months of October and November seeing the most number of COVID-19 positive cases and deaths. He commended the efforts of all the staffs in the health sector who have deployed significant efforts and have relentlessly continued on carrying out their duties amidst the difficult situation. He also expressed gratitude towards all the staff who have enabled the service to run smoothly.

Speaking about the COVID-19 cases, the Health Minister indicated that the number of patients as well as the mortality rate has decreased.
