The current modelling studies indicate that from the present level of 350,000 infections per day, India is likely to have 600,000 infections per day before the current wave peaks. To address the challenge posed by this level of infections, rapid action is needed for improving hospital infrastructure and delivering essential commodities like medical oxygen, anti-virals and other drugs.

Expected Results

1) Offering relief through the makeshift COVID healthcare facility at the Patliputra Sports Complex to address the second COVID-19 wave in India.

2) Operationalizing the Kangan Ghat healthcare facility as part of the third wave preparedness.
