To support our healthcare workers and protect them from falling ill themselves in the line of duty, the campaign has identified three areas of intervention in India's battle against coronavirus:
- Door-to-door community screening in hotspots
- Provide certified Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) kits and masks to save our saviours from the virus
- Scale plasma donation and facilitate safe home quarantine solutions
With 0.55 hospital beds per thousand population, and under 15 percent of ICUs across the country have dedicated critical care doctors, this campaign is to help bridge some of these gaps for better patient outcomes and to make sure our healthcare workers are safe themselves.
