Acclaimed play ‘The Vaidya’s Oath’ will be performed at Jagriti Theatre in Whitefield. This play addresses the very alarming threat of Superbugs and their increasing resistance to antibiotics.
A tense and moving play, it is deemed as essential viewing for students of the sciences and medicine, clinicians and indeed for all who need to be sensitised to this world crisis. The story is about Dr Ajay, who has been demoted and given a punishment transfer from his own hospital in Allahabad to a Primary Health Centre in ‘Katkoot’ Utter Pradesh.
