New Delhi: A day after former AIIMS faculty Dr J.N. Pande died of coronavirus, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal condoled his demise.
"Heartfelt condolences to Dr Pande's family. He retired from AIIMS after a long service but continued to work in another hospital until his unfortunate demise this week due to coronavirus. Delhi salutes you sir. RIP," Kejriwal said in a tweet on Sunday.
Pande, a pulmonologist and former head of the Department of Medicine at All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in Delhi, had tested positive on Tuesday. He was 79-year-old and died at his residence with mild symptoms.
Pande was associated with the Sitaram Bhartia Institute of Science and Research - a multi-speciality hospital in South Delhi.
