The National Capital of Delhi has been witnessing a massive surge in COVID-19 cases. As hospitals get overwhelmed and the overall healthcare infrastructure takes a hit, residents of the city are in dire need of medical support to fight the infection. Amid such a scenario, Save the Children has become a part of Government’s work-in-progress project of setting up and operating a 100-bed medical facility in Delhi, backed with a dedicated oxygen plant which will cater to the most disadvantaged sections of the society.
This initiative is a part of Save the Children’s larger #ProtectAMillion mission through which we will be reaching 1 million children and their families affected by the Second Wave of the pandemic.
