Although a Dentist by profession  during the second wave however, the journey and experience of Dr Mohd Zeeshan Ahmed was no less than a roller coster ride-First as a Medical officer for the Covid 19 in the remotest district of Bihar and later as he lead the Vaccination Drive there. 

As a frontline worker Dr. Zeeshan realised there are many gaps in the system. He in collaboration with NGO and state government visited different Covid Care centres and accessed the situation and line of treatment for the patients. 

He feels there are many loopholes in this country’s health system, and vaccination is the biggest challenge. "There was reluctance among people to get vaccinated because of certain rumours especially among the people of the minority communities, backward and economically poor sections", says Dr. Zeeshan. 

The insensitivity of the system became obvious for the Medical team. After visiting many places and minority belts and districts, Dr Zeeshan realised the people there didn't care about the vaccination, as they were very much frustrated and disappointed with the whole system. 

Dr Zeeshan says" They had their own problems, like they didn't get their ration. They cared about their food.These people didn't trust the vaccination drive and the policies of the government. "

Hence, it became a difficult task for Dr. Zeeshan and his medical team to make people understand and cope up with such a situation

In some areas the vaccination was too low, to gear up the process, Dr. Zeeshan, along with his medical team did extensive field visits at different districts, villages, sites and centres throughout Bihar. Administrative officers, teachers, anganwadi workers, panchayati raj members and MLA's at the high level helped and were involved to educate the people of villages and accelerate the vaccination drive. 

Dr. Zeeshan says his father has been his biggest inspiration who inspired him to become a doctor . “He himself is a Doctor, and a Civil Surgeon, and has served as the Chief Medical Officer during the first wave at Champaran which is the largest district of Bihar,” said Dr Zeeshan.
