Need Covid help in Bengaluru? This car-turned-clinic is just a WhatsApp away

Dr Sunil Kumar Hebbi, a Bengaluru-based doctor, is treating Covid-19 patients, who message him on WhatsApp for help, through his car-turned-clinic for free of cost.

A Bengaluru-based doctor is providing free medical service to Covid-19 patients, who message him for help and aid on popular messaging app, WhatsApp. He provides service to these patients by travelling in his car, which he has turned into a mobile clinic. Dr Sunil Kumar Hebbi has been extremely busy for nearly three weeks, treating more than 200 patients. He works in a Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) Covid clinic on a contract basis from 8 pm to 8 am. After his night duty, he takes a two-hour rest before beginning his mobile car clinic service at 10 am. Amid the challenging times, the doctor hardly gets the time to sleep as his phone is buzzing with WhatsApp messages from his patients. His priority groups are senior citizens, those having mild Covid-19 symptoms and who cannot venture out of their homes and are staying alone.
