Oxygen Centres for Gujarat
We all are aware that Gujarat is reporting over 14000 COVID-19 cases/day since 20th April. There are thousands of patients who are in home-isolation and are struggling to find oxygen cylinders to cop up with the breathing issue and falling SPO2 level. Scarcity of beds with oxygen in hospitals and misinformation around healthcare services adds more to the misery of the patients.
We, at Ahmedabad Cares (IndiGive Foundation), are setting up a few Oxygen Care Centres to provide oxygen cylinders and refill cylinders to home isolation patients. Oxygen Centre will provide oxygen cylinders and support to refill the cylinders through a few associate network partners. We would also deliver cylinders to home-isolation patients who do not have a helping hand. The Oxygen Centre will operate from 10am to 6pm on all days. The first such centre is being set up in Bopal (with support from Arvind Foundation) area and is operational from the 1st May while a few more centres will be set up in other areas in the coming weeks. The Centre has a helpline no. 079-48062000 to facilitate and guide patients. Each Oxygen Centre will be able to support 200-300 patients in a month.
We now wish to set up 'Oxygen Centres' in 2-4 other high intensity locations of Gujarat. We are need to come together to help Gujarat and India fight this.
