The Tamil Nadu Medical Students’ Association has voiced concerns over the non-availability of masks and hand sanitisers for doctors, postgraduate medical students and interns in government hospitals.

With the State government closing down all educational institutions in Tamil Nadu, except medical colleges till March 31, the association has appealed to the government to declare holidays for undergraduate medical students too.

The body said there was an acute shortage of masks and hand sanitisers at the government hospitals.
