In Video Message, Arvind Kejriwal Urges Doctors to Volunteer, Provide Free Medical Advice over Phone

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Saturday appealed to all doctors to volunteer for the city government's telemedicine helpline to provide free healthcare advice to people.

In a video message, Kejriwal urged them to register with the government by giving a missed call on 08047192219.

The chief minister said coronavirus is perhaps the biggest "calamity" in the history of mankind and no agency, government or organisation can fight it alone.

"It is a massive challenge. Governments, society, social organizations... we all need to come together to defeat it," he said.

"Many doctors have come together to provide free medical advice to people over the phone. Similarly, if you are a doctor and you want to volunteer, you can join us by calling on this number," Kejriwal said.
