78岁全印度医学科学研究所退休高级医生吉滕德拉·内斯·潘德（Jitendra Nath Pande）：坚守印度德里抗疫战场
现年78岁的吉滕德拉·内斯·潘德（Jitendra Nath Pande）是全印度医学科学研究所退休高级医生，他曾在这家印度首屈一指的医院担任肺病科主任。新冠肺炎疫情暴发后，潘德教授一直在一家医院治疗新冠肺炎患者。
5月23日，全印度医学科学研究所负责人兰迪普·古勒里亚（Randeep Guleria）告诉印度托拉斯新闻通讯社，潘德博士和他的妻子在5月19日接受了新冠肺炎检测，检测结果均呈阳性。但是他们只出现了轻微的感染症状，因此选择了在家隔离。“我们正在定期地跟进他的情况。他说他的情况正在好转。昨天他吃过晚饭就去休息了，然后在睡梦中去世了，他可能是因为心脏方面的突发状况而去世的。在潘德博士身上，你能看到知识与谦卑共存。他是一个非常出色的人，他的去世对于医学界来说是一个巨大的损失。全印度医学科学研究所的所有工作人员都会想念他，因为他在本科时期就加入了全印度医学科学研究所，一直工作到他退休。”
德里首席部长阿文德·凯里瓦尔（Arvind Kejriwal）在社交媒体发布了一条向潘德医生致敬的信息：“我在此向潘德博士的家人表示衷心的慰问。潘德博士在全印度医学科学研究所工作许多年后退休，在他不幸去世前，他还在一家医院为患者提供治疗。我代表德里向潘德博士致敬。”
在潘德博士去世的前一天，全印度医学科学研究所一名后勤工作人员不幸感染新冠肺炎去世。这两起事件引发了当地医疗界对当前采取的防护措施的思考。
德里是印度新冠肺炎疫情最严重的地区之一，当地许多医生和医疗卫生工作者感染新冠肺炎。4月，在印度拉奥医院、巴布·贾吉万拉姆纪念医院和德里癌症研究所等医疗机构的医生和护理人员被检测出感染新冠肺炎之后，这些医疗机构不得不被封锁。这是全印度医学科学研究所自3月以来第一次关闭门诊部。在一名警察被检测出感染新冠肺炎之后，一些派驻在全印度医学科学研究所的警务人员也不得不被隔离。在此期间，印度总理纳伦德拉·莫迪（Narendra Modi）公布了第一阶段封锁措施。
据印度托拉斯新闻通讯社报道称，全印度医学科学研究所于5月底逐渐对外开放，计划建立一个筛查区隔离有流感症状的患者。截至5月24日，德里已公布了12319例新冠肺炎病例，其中208例死亡病例，成为印度新冠肺炎疫情第四严重的州。
Senior AIIMS Doctor Jitendra Nath Pande Dies Of COVID-19 In Delhi
A senior doctor, who had retired from Delhi's All India Institute Of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), died of COVID-19 on Saturday. Dr Jitendra Nath Pande, 78, was the director of the Pulmonology department at the premier hospital, which has been treating coronavirus patients for weeks.
Dr Pande and his wife tested positive for the infection on Tuesday with mild symptoms but remained in home isolation, AIIMS Director Dr Randeep Guleria told news agency PTI.
"We were following him up regularly. He said he was improving. Yesterday, he had his dinner and went off to sleep and then died possibly because of an acute cardiac event," he said.
In a tweet, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal paid tributes to him. "Heartfelt condolences to Dr Pande's family. He retired from AIIMS after a long career of service but continued to work in another hospital until his unfortunate demise this week due to Corona. Delhi salutes you sir. RIP," he wrote.
Dr Sangita Reddy, Joint Managing Director of Apollo Hospitals Group, said the disease has claimed its most illustrious victim.
"Deeply saddened to hear that today COVID-19 claimed its most illustrious victim, Dr JN Pande, Director and Professor of Pulmonology, AIIMS, New Delhi. A stalwart of the medical world, his work in pulmonology will continue to ensure better health for many. My Condolences to his family," she tweeted.
Dr Pande's death comes a day after a mess worker at AIIMS died of the disease, prompting allegations from the Resident Doctors Association that precautionary measures it demanded weeks back had not been taken.
"A mess worker from RPC canteen died of COVID-19 because the hostel section refused to take precautionary measures as demanded by RDA more than a month ago," the RDA said in a letter to the AIIMS Director on Friday.
"These demands have fallen on deaf ears and hence the fatal outcome," it added.
Scores of doctors and health workers have been infected with coronavirus in the national capital, one of the worst coronavirus-hit states in the country.
After doctors and nursing staff were found to be coronavirus positive last month, hospitals like Hindu Rao, Babu Jagjivan Ram Memorial Hospital and Delhi Cancer Institute had to be sealed.
Some police personnel, posted at AIIMS, had to be quarantined after a policeman tested positive in April.
AIIMS had shut down its out-patient department for the first time in history in March, when Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced the first phase of the coronavirus lockdown. It is planning to open its OPD, news agency PTI reported last week, by setting up a screening area and segregating patients with influenza symptoms.
Delhi has so far reported 12,319 coronavirus cases, including 208 deaths. It is the fourth worst-hit state in the country after Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu and Gujarat.
