Kadfeen in a statement issued to KNS highlighted the role the medical fraternity including the senior doctors and paramedics are playing amid the prevalent COVID 19 crises. He said that these frontline warriors deserve appreciation and kudos from all corners of the society.
Kadfeen further underscored the need for the society’s saner voices to come forward and raise issue of the safety of Jammu and Kashmir’s medical fraternity.

He cited the recent example of Dr Naveed Nazir who has been tested positive while earnestly serving the people at the forefront.
He demanded that people from the medical fraternity must be provided with all requisite facilities so that their lives aren’t exposed to severe risks and they are protected on priorit (KNS)
