"Since the outbreak of the pandemic, we have been faced with an unprecedented situation. The second wave has posed a much deeper and stiff challenge before us. At times even we feel low. But we are well aware of our responsibility to keep the patients happy and energetic while we treat their physical ailment caused by the virus. The dance session with the patients brought great joy to them and it is a great feeling to see them stay in a good frame of mind," Dr Deb told The Assam Tribune on Sunday.

It may be mentioned that there are around 50 patients undergoing treatment at the Civil hospital with most of the patients above 50 years of age.
