Gandhians' Mission to fight COVID in India
Tax deductible
BACKGROUND:
Gandhi Medical College and Hospital, a tertiary level government hospital in the heart of Telangana state, India. This hospital serves close to 15 million population & is now exclusively serving COVID patients. Most of the patients are from underserved areas and are low-income population & don’t have the income source to get private care. With the rising COVID cases, the healthcare staff has been putting their lives at risk while many others are sick from COVID already. All ventilator beds are filled to the capacity & many more needed as COVID situation spiking in this location. More than 20 people per day are dying just due to insufficient resources like lack of CPAP / BIPAP and high flow oxygen and many more due to complications of COVID.
On the other side, conditions in rural communities are very dire with poor healthcare access especially at Primary Health Centers and so as their resources being stretched and doctors working nonstop with exhaustion.
Our organization is working in association with non-profit EKAM foundation (USA & India).
