The Goa Government must as a priority form a cell headed by a dedicated senior officer to examine and swiftly resolve all the issues of concern being faced by our COVID warriors who have been relentlessly striving to save every life possible at the various Hospitals and COVID centers across the State. We must translate the appreciation that people have for their dedication, into real tangible respect, help and reward for our front line heroes. Their commitment and sacrifices during these challenging times often without the vital tools to fight a destructive virus has been exemplary.
These warriors with skill and dedication are tirelessly going the extra mile risking their own lives to save others. They deserve a Big Thank You and more. The mental and physical scars of this battle against the damaging virus and the trail of destruction it leaves behind will never vanish for many but supporting them and rewarding them may make the experience a little easier to bear. Genuine concrete appreciation can make a difference. We should never take others for granted otherwise we may never benefit from their heroics again. Mere warm words of gratitude for our front line heroes will not suffice. The Government must ensure that all front line heroes, the doctors, nurses, other hospital staff including the ambulance drivers are financially well compensated besides getting enough rest to reboot for the next shift. All grievances that they may have must be attended to while they are given proper facilities in discharging their duties. The interests of the families of all the COVID Warriors must be kept in mind too. It is only by taking care of them that we will be cared for. We must also have a word of deep appreciation to so many who are volunteering to be of assistance to COVID patients including those in home quarantine. These have been very troubled and turbulent times to the entire humanity across the globe. Nobody yet knows how all this started and neither can even the scientists estimate when and if this pandemic will end. While we endure these dark days let us be of assistance and comfort to each other during these very trying times.
