A group of Delhi-based lawyers has teamed up to crowd-source funding to set up a 50-bed makeshift covid facility that will be fitted with oxygen concentrators.
The group that includes Vaibhav Kakkar of L&L partners and Karan Chandhiok of Chandhiok and Mahajan has roped in former Natco Pharma executive CV Narayan Rao to help with technical assistance for the project.
The team is looking to raise Rs. 2 crore for setting up the makeshift field hospital and for sourcing 100 oxygen concentrators which they estimate could help save 90,000 lives.
Their efforts have already yielded partial success as the group has so far raised about Rs. 68 lakh as per details on fundraising platform milaap.
The lawyers have also tied up with Meddo Foundation which provides online consultation support to patients.
Last year a group of top executives from companies such as MakeMyTrip, , Medanta-The Medicity, Ernst & Young, , Rivigo and Softbank had pooled resources to form a 150-bed facility in Gurugram for treatment of Covid patients.
Corporate India has been chipping in with efforts to enable supplies of necessary materials such as oxygen which are in short supply. Several companies including , Tata, ITC, , JSW and JM Baxi have been helping hospitals or state governments with such supplies.
