The Federation of Resident Doctors’ Association (FORDA) tweeted a video posted by Savla from December 2022, mourning the early death of the young doctor.

“@JaySavla15 was a sincere Medicine PG. He made a video in Dec’22, and look at how intricate and sorted his thought process was. He was happy with his course in Medicine. Had wonderful goals for ‘23 and we hoped he achieved them. Sadly, we lost him to depression. It can strike and take even the strongest ones, even the most insightful ones,” read the post.
