Addressing the second wave of Covid-19, Youngistaan Foundation has set up a 40 member volunteer team who are generating real time availability of beds, oxygen generating devices, isolation centres, food centres, free transport facilities in Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and other states of the country. Volunteers are also contacting the beneficiaries in person and assisting in verifying the resource on phone to avoid all the hassle a patient’s family goes through in those testing times.
