"To handle the calls, the Gujarat BJP's medical cell will form a COVID-19 task force having a panel of 50 to 60 doctors in each district. Till now, 2,500 doctors have come forward and registered themselves to provide services on a voluntary basis," BJP medical cell convener Dr Dharmendra Gajjar said.

"The number released today is a centralized number. If a patient from Bhavnagar calls us for expert opinion or wants to clear some doubts, we will send him a list of all registered specialist doctors of Bhavnagar. This initiative will help many because most patients are currently home isolated," said Gajjar. PTI PJT BNM BNM BNM
