Abdul Ghani Basith and Nathika Rahumathulla on working on the frontlines while fasting for Ramadan
“There are only a few days left of Ramadan.
For the past four weeks, Muslims here and around the world have been fasting to mark the holy month.
This year has been unusual to say the least for many families observing the month without the company of their community…
But for those working on the frontlines who are fasting for 14 hours a day – well, they say the experience has served up some surprises.
Dr. Abdul Ghani Basith is an Emergency Room Doctor at Markham Stouffville Hospital.
Nathika Rahumathulla is a registered nurse in the same ER.”
Ramadan is ending soon and we talked to two healthcare workers about the experience of fasting 14 hours a day, while on the front lines.
