URGENT NEED TO SUPPORT COVID FACILITIES

The second wave of COVID - 19 is raging across India with devastating impact. With more than 3.8 million active cases (as of May 7, 2021) and numbers predicted to rise to a peak of 600,00 a day by mid-May 2021, our health infrastructure is already overwhelmed. There is a dire need for hospital beds, doctors, medicines and life support systems.

CARE India with its 70 years of experience in providing relief during disasters and delivering large-scale health programmes on the ground is well-positioned to support the affected citizens where the need is the greatest.

• Provide PPE kits ( protective suits and masks) to frontline workers
• Provide critical medical consumables like oxygen cylinders, medicines etc to COVID Facilities
• Set up make-shift COVID hospitals and COVID Care Centres- the first one in Patna with 100 beds is operational
