Warangal Urban: Sharat MaxiVision Eye Hospitals, a group of Maxivision Eye hospitals, partnered with Breath India to set up Oxygen Bank in Warangal.
After seeing the need for oxygen for Covid-19 patients, Dr Sharat Babu Chilukuri, Managing Director of Sharat Maxivision Eye Hospitals, and his daughter Dr Meghana Chilukuri, decided to partner with Breath India to provide oxygen concentrators to the needy, and set up the Oxygen Bank on its hospital premises in association with Rotary Club of Warangal.
Speaking on the occasion, Dr Sharat Babu Chilukuri said Covid-19 had turned out to be virulent in India. “Everyone in the country has a responsibility to offer their service to the society in this critical time. When we approached the Rotary Club of Hanamkonda and Warangal central with the idea of setting up Oxygen Bank, the members welcomed it. Later, the same idea was shared with all family members and friends who generously contributed to the project,” he said, adding that the oxygen concentrators would be distributed to all needy at nominal cost.
“After being used by patients, they will return the machines to us. On receipt, we will sanitse them and distribute them to the next patient who are in line to receive it. The idea is to make 100 oxygen concentrators in Warangal and replicate the same project in Khammam and Karimnagar soon,” he added.
