The pandemic made the world realise the importance of doctors. On World Health Day, let's salute doctors and nurses who are doing their best to help the victims of COVID-19. We can continue to help the doctors by maintaining social distancing and minimise public outings by catching up on a few medical dramas at the comfort of our homes:
Grey's Anatomy
