Taking note of the fatigue that is setting in among the existing doctors and healthcare staff who have been dealing with the pandemic since March, last year, the Supreme Court has recommended Centre to make Covid service attractive to almost 1.5 lakh NEET PG aspirants and 2.5 lakh trained nurses by way of grace marks as an incentive.
According to a recent report by Livelaw, the Supreme Court bench comprising of Justices Chandrachud and Justice M.R. Shah opined that incentive in the form of money would not help and suggested providing the NEET PG aspirants and nursing students with an incentive in the form of grace marks.
Justice Chandrachud pointed out "The most important thing is missing here...incentive in the form of grace marks in the NEET PG course. Money won't help. People won't stir out in these COVID times otherwise".

The observation came while the Apex Court bench was listening to the Centre's petition against the Delhi High Court's contempt notice to its officials for failing to secure a supply of 700 MT of oxygen to Delhi as directed by the SC on April 30. The SC bench stayed the contempt proceedings on Wednesday and asked the Centre to explain the plan to address the necessary supply.
Addressing the growing need for doctors and healthcare workers in India, Justice D.Y Chandrachud mentioned on Thursday, "There is no way today that we have the number of health professionals in our medical infrastructure to be able to meet the ongoing second surge and a potential third wave. No country in the world can meet such a demand. And India does not have such a quantum of human resources."
