Three AIIMS doctors to get discharged today

Three of the four doctors, who got injured in the road accident on the Yamuna Expressway that took the lives of another three All India Institute of Medical Sciences doctors, will get discharged from the hospital on Thursday.

The four injured doctors – Catherine Halam, Mahesh Kumar, Jitender Mourya and Abhinava Singh – have been recovering at the Jai Prakash Narayan Trauma Center, AIIMS. Catherine, who had suffered a hip dislocation and facial fractures, was operated upon by a team of doctors led by Dr Rajesh Malhotra, chief of JPNATC. She has now been shifted to the Intensive Care Unit and will take at least a week to get discharged. The others will be discharged on Thursday.

All the seven doctors were from the same batch at the Department of Emergency Medicine and had completed their shift together when they started for Agra in a car.

AIIMS held a condolence meet on Wednesday for the three doctors who lost their lives.
