#OneMoreBreath BUILD COVID FIELD HOSPITALS (WITH OXYGEN SUPPORT) IN INDIA May 4, 2021
COVID in India today : A Human Crisis
• May 1st : New Covid cases > 400,000; case
load > 1 M / day by end of May Need to look beyond the towns large NGOs think of …
• By end May, projecting ~ 10,000 deaths a
day, which is 7 people/min
• Spreading across India
• Delhi is in the news, but the crisis is even
greater in small towns and cities like Kolkata
and Bangalore which have less hospital
infrastructure
• Elections in West Bengal, and U.P. and
Kumbh Mela in Uttarakhand make these
geographies a ticking time bomb
• Key issue is lack of hospital beds with
Oxygen
