Want to join me in making a difference? We are Compassionate pandemic Response CPR started by a doctor Dr Satya Garimella and 2 healthcare IT entrepreneurs, Krishna Kottapalli and Udai Kumar in a effort to help India cope better with the COVID 19 pandemic.

AIIMS Bibinagar, Hyderabad is a an operational world class institution set up by the government of India catering to the poor and delivering most services for free or very nominal costs . It is staffed with fully qualified doctors , nurses and other staff and is currently catering to Mild to Moderate COVID 19 cases in a 70 bed center within the 700 bed hospital.
As you are well aware with over 350,000 deaths of which over 100,000 have died in the last 6 weeks, India is reeling under the extraordinary swiftness of transmission and fatality that affects all old and young and I finding it difficult to cope due to lack of oxygen, equipment and staff .
Our total project is expected to cost $ 550,000 and take 12 weeks time to complete . When operational this facility will cater to all critically ill COVID patients and provide such services free of cost to the patients. Over the life time of the equipment, we expect to save over 7,500 lives.
We have have raised through friends, families, doctors and large corporation and foundations over $ 170,000 to date and we have started the project phase 1 which we expect to finish by June 30,2021.
We need to raise another $ 56,000 to start Phase 2 , at the end of which we expect to be fully operational with 3 ICU beds . This is expected to be done within 3 weeks of receipt of this money .
We expect to raise a further $ 320,000 to complete the third and final phase of this project by August 31, 2021.
