The 56-year-old nurse, who has been working at SSG Hospital since 2000, had volunteered for Covid-19 gynaec duties after helping out with the first delivery of a woman with Covid last year

The award has left her “humbled”, says Gheewala, adding, “It is always teamwork from our doctors to the security guard, everyone contributes to the functioning of the hospital. The award is an honour and it belongs to my entire team.”

During the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic last year, Gheewala was at the forefront of the nursing staff that set up the first labour ward for Covid patients in SSG, when private hospitals were refusing to admit such women.

She also opted for gyanec duties with Covid-19 positive expectant mothers. Gheewala told “Many nurses in the labour ward were in fear as birthing involves touching patients. I did my duty with an optimistic frame of mind and by God’s grace, I have not yet contracted Covid-19.”

She says that although many staff nurses tested positive for Covid-19 since last year, everyone recovered and continued with their duties. “Many of our nurses are also young mothers… there has been so much stress. I have always told them that they must care for their families while also doing their duty. It requires a lot of compassion.”

As private hospitals refused admissions to Covid positive women for delivery, even rich families were coming to SSG for deliveries last year, she said. “We had affluent patients from as far as Jodhpur… many of the women whose deliveries I attended to are still in touch.
