Covid Intiatives
We’re proud to share that 216 additional oxygen concentrators are being distributed to some of the most impactful organizations and dedicated volunteers across India.
During the devastating second wave of COVID-19 in India, IndiaHub and our community partners came together in an extraordinary act of compassion and urgency.
Thanks to the generosity of donors, hospitals, organizations, and United Airlines, we successfully sent:
-
106 life-saving ventilators
-
Hundreds of oxygen concentrators
-
Truckloads of emergency medical supplies and PPE kits to hospitals and volunteers across India.
We were among the first groups to deliver critical medical equipment to regions in desperate need — made possible by the selfless efforts of individuals and organizations determined to save lives during one of the darkest moments in India’s history.
