The Covid-19 Warriors: Healthcare workers who sacrificed their lives for us, the one-of-its-kind coffee table book, profiles hundreds of doctors, nurses and healthcare workers who died while treating coronavirus patients
To pay tribute to thousands of healthcare workers who have sacrificed their lives across the world to save human race from the Covid-19 pandemic, Person Matters has come out with one-of-its-kind coffee table book that lists the names and contribution of thousands of medics who have succumbed to the disease while at work.
“As the number of coronavirus cases have hit millions and more than 185,000 people have died so far across the world, the doctors, nurses and other medical professionals have been on the frontline to cure the Covid-19 patients. But in the process, many of them get infected and several others lose their lives,” Person Matters said in a statement.
The Covid-19 Warriors: A tribute to healthcare workers who sacrificed their lives for us
During any epidemic or pandemic, healthcare workers remain on the frontline. Situation during the ongoing Covid-19 is no different. While taking care of the patients, these warriors not only commit themselves in difficult and draining position but also put themselves at high risk of infection. “An alarming failure” in the global supply of protective clothing and new coronavirus tests – together with “unprecedented” overwork linked to global staff shortages – have yet again highlighted the vulnerability of healthcare workers across the world. Sadly, many of them get infections from their patients. Some even die in the process. Person Matters has compiled the names and contributions of as many Covid-19 warriors as possible who lost their lives in service of humanity in this Coffee Table Book (CTB). This CTB is just a humble gesture to salute their selfless efforts to protect us from the pandemic, even at the cost of their lives.You may view this CTB at www.personmatters.com. or You may also reach us at personmatters@gmail.com.

“The 100-page coffee table book The Covid-19 Warriors: Healthcare Workers Who Sacrificed Their Lives For Us is our humble attempt to appreciate our healthcare heroes who passed away while serving the humanity across the globe even when they did not have enough safety gears to save their own lives,” it added.
Healthcare workers have the potential for direct or indirect exposure to patients or infectious materials. The risks taken daily by the armies of doctors, nurses and healthcare workers treating coronavirus patients across the world have been starkly illustrated by a growing number of deaths.
“Thousands of medics have already lost their lives after contracting the disease from patients and the number is rising with each passing day,” said a Person Matters executive. “The rising tally also highlights the testing crisis and lack of enough protective gears for the front liners.”
“These healthcare workers serve the society daily throughout the year. But people rarely notice them. It’s high time that we acknowledge and appreciate their efforts and reward these unsung heroes. The coffee table book The Covid-19 Warriors is a small step in this direction,” he pointed out.
“We hope that more individuals and organisations will come forward and do their bit to recognise the selfless services and crucial role played by these professionals in keeping the society healthy,” he added.
“The coffee table book The Covid-19 Warriors: Healthcare Workers Who Sacrificed Their Lives For Us can be accessed for free at the our website www.personmatters.com,” Person Matters highlighted in a statement.
As of April 23, 2020, there were 2,658,794 coronavirus cases across the world. While the pandemic had claimed 185,441 lives, more than 730,000 Covid-19 patients had recovered, according to Worldometer.
