The performance took place in the recovery room at the Silchar Medical College & Hospital, in the presence of a few patients and a team of doctors.

What Doctors say?

“It was the last of the seven days of gruelling duty at the Covid ward,” said Dr Senapati, “We were to start our mandatory quarantine the next day — my colleagues had already told me that I must dance on the last day of my duty.”

“They were very happy,” said Dr Senapati, while talking about the response from his patients. “And so was I. I just wanted to keep the morale up. The week had been tough, the PPE is difficult to work in…while the recovery rate has improved in Assam, and things are looking better, the war is far from over, we are still working every day to beat this.”

Dr Senapati has been an avid dancer, right from his college days at the Gauhati Medical College & Hospital, taking part in several competitions and even winning a few.
