India green-lights UAE, Kuwait request for ex-military doctors, nurses

India will also send two military rapid response teams comprising army doctors, nurses and paramedics to Mauritius and Comoros to help them cope with the crisis

The government has given an in-principle approval to requests from Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates to send Indian doctors and paramedics to help the two Gulf countries fight the Covid-19 pandemic, a top government official told Hindustan Times on Wednesday.

Kuwait was the first one to seek Indian medical assistance earlier this month when Prime Minister Sheikh Sabah Al-Khaled Al-Hamad Al-Sabah called Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The Indian Air Force had then flown a 15-member military rapid response team.

As this team was wrapping up - it returned on Monday - New Delhi received the request for more medical teams. “They were very impressed with the rapid response team,” an official said.

By this time, senior government officials said, another request for Indian healthcare personnel had come in from the United Arab Emirates. There are also similar requests pending from Mauritius and Comoros, the archipelago off Africa’s east coast Comoros, that are battling the disease.

Other Gulf countries have also sounded out New Delhi that they would need Indian medical assistance and are expected to send formal requests shortly.

In response to these requests, the top official said, “an in-principle decision has been taken to allow retired military doctors, nurses and technicians to travel to UAE and Kuwait to begin with”.

For Comoros and Mauritius, the government has okayed short-term deployment of the military’s rapid response teams. These self-contained teams comprise military doctors, nurses and other paramedics.

The foreign ministry and the armed forces are still working out the mechanics of how the medical teams for Kuwait and UAE would be constituted.

“Retired military healthcare professionals - doctors, nurses, lab technicians - who are ready to take up this assignment, can opt to help the Gulf countries,” the official said.

On an average, a top military official told Hindustan Times, about 100 doctors, 30-40 nurses and a few hundred paramedics retired from the Army Medical Corps every year.

Since it would not have been possible to spare serving government doctors at this time, the decision attempts to address the urgent needs of the Gulf countries without compromising with the healthcare requirements of people in India.

PM Modi and Foreign Minister S Jaishankar, who have received numerous requests for Indian assistance from Gulf countries over the Covid-19, had earlier ordered officials to prioritise approvals to their requests for dispatch of millions of paracetamol and hydroxychloroquine tablets.

So far, 45 million hydroxychloroquine tablets and 11 metric tonnes of HCQ’s active pharmaceutical ingredients have been cleared to be shipped on a commercial basis to six Gulf countries, Bahrain, Jordan, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.

Another 22.7 million units of paracetamol were also cleared for Kuwait and the UAE before the government lifted export controls on the medicine on 17 April. Some more consignments of paracetamol were subsequently cleared for the two countries, apart from Iraq and Yemen.

Officials suggest India had gone out of its way to cater to the requirements of the Gulf countries at this crucial juncture, gestures that have been warmly reciprocated by the West Asian countries. Like when the UAE was packing off immigrants from every other country following the outbreak of the pandemic, India requested Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates to go slow with repatriating Indian nationals because the state governments didn’t have the infrastructure to deal with the influx.

This request was accepted though around the same time, the messaging to the rest of the world was that the government could impose restrictions on return of workers later from countries that don’t evacuate their nationals.

“It is in this context”, a foreign ministry official said, “that the unseemly controversy over a cabinet note in Kuwait should be seen”. The document, which spoke about Muslims being targeted in India, was leaked around the same time that Kuwait was requesting India to make an exception and send Indian doctors and healthcare professionals.

It was an effort by vested interests - possibly linked to pro-Pakistan elements in the kingdom - to influence the narrative around India’s deepening ties with Gulf countries. In any case, a minister in the Indian government said, even at meetings of the Union Cabinet in Delhi, all issues and topics under the Sun are discussed. “That does not mean that the view being discussed reflects the stand of the government,” he said.

Officials underline how the concerns referred to in the Kuwaiti document echoed the narrative that Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan had been trying to build for some time.

Foreign minister Makhdoom Shah Mahmood Qureshi had promptly weighed in, calling for a coordinated effort against coronavirus. “Unfortunately, what we’re seeing is that though this virus respects no borders, it doesn’t differentiate between ethnicities or religion — yet in India [...] they’re in the grip of Islamophobia,” he said, according to a report in Pakistan’s newspaper Dawn’s website.

Why don't we put a condition there? Remove the failed nation pakis from covid response committee that these duffer gulfs have.
Because literally that nation is just doing it's work as usual of killing and conversion of hindus.
Had I been there I would had personally mocked these bastards for their false sense of superiority.

Put a UV bulb in a box. IITK could have come up with something better. UV bulb cost $30-$60. Cost of box $0 (pick one from the recycle bin). Cost of cheap publicity - priceless.
add a timer on it.... looks complicated!

The difficult truth is that jihadis in India have proved their point. They have made an international stink and no matter what we think of it, the government has to take note. The second and more disheartening point is that they have shown street power and basically made it costly for governments to do things that they deem unacceptable. Sure, the government may do some noises but both the internal lunacy and the external stink makes it unlikely that the government will want a repeat anytime soon. Also, in several states, including places like TN and Bihar, they will make NDA allies very uncomfortable with the BJP. Unless there is Hindu consolidation to a massive extent, expect allies to make noises or risk losing elections with Muslim voters making up a single consolidated block. Essentially the BJP can only have allies who don’t have a Muslim vote share at all, that is not likely to happen and therefore expect amplification of noises.
Jihadis are using a global play book
They have tried this street stunt in their own back yard at Saudi...then in Europe and now in India.
soon you will see the jihadis doing street stunts in USA ..canada and elsewhere.
True...Hindu vote consolidation is one vaccine for the Jihadi virus who even used china virus as a bio jihad against India and openly threatened the fabric of this nation.

Coronavirus spread relatively muted in India: Data

NEW DELHI: Though the number of people getting infected with novel coronavirus is increasing every day in the country, data reveals that India has been able to slow down the spread of the deadly virus when compared to rest of the world.
Two sets of data — one comparing the number of cases with the number of deaths and the other showing the number of days it took for a country to double its cases — make it evident that the Covid-19 virus in India is not spreading as rapidly as it is in some parts of the world.

The coronavirus cases in India doubled from 16,000 to 32,000 in 10 days. The rate of doubling was slightly higher on the previous occasion when the number of cases jumped from 8,000 to 16,000 in 8 days.
In most of the countries, barring Canada, the rate of doubling has remained below five days. In the US, the worst affected country with over a million cases, it took a mere two days for cases to double from 16,000 to 32,000. In Italy, it took five days, in Spain four days and in the UK it took five days for the cases to go from 16,000 to 32,000.


Canada has shown remarkable progress stalling the spread of the virus. In the North American nation, it took six days for cases to double from 8,000 to 16,000; it took another 12 days for cases to reach 32,000 from 16,000.
The second set of data reflects on the mortality rate. In India, the mortality rate has been considerably lower when compared to other countries. The country had 31,332 coronavirus cases when the death toll crossed the 1,000-mark.
In other countries, the death toll touched 1,000 much earlier — in France it took 22,304 cases, in Italy it took 15,115 cases, in Spain it took 21,571 cases, while in Belgium the number of cases was 15,348.


As per the latest report of the ministry of health and family welfare, there 33,050 cases in India with 1,074 deaths. A total of 8,324 people have been cured, leaving 23,651 active cases.
Data sourse: Ministry of health and family welfare and Worldometer

First they used MSM and a very unscientific planned study on Veterans (to create emotionalism) with headlines showing the cheap HCQ as murderer.

The lead scientist of the study was a guy sponsored by the company Gilead which makes the patented drug Remdesivir.

Few days back a study came out leaked from WHO stating that Remdesivir is not effective against Chinese Virus. Now today news is circulated by paid media that Remdesivir is the one cure.

Remdesivir: Drug has 'clear-cut' power to fight coronavirus


Leftists MSM and big pharma are playing big time with the planet.

Ok South Korea, here’s some really good news. Only 4 new cases of coronavirus have been reported in last 24 hours and they were all found at the airport.

0 from within the country.

Let me repeat that one more time. ZERO locally transmitted COVID19 cases in last 24 hours.
