It was the peak time of Covid in our nation. Oxygen demand was increasing more than ever. Remdisivir injection was being sold five times more than the price. People lost jobs and income. Some could not even afford food.
The pandemic has been a nightmare for us all, but in these times of despair, we have also stood by each other more than ever. Jaipur Beat wants to recognize a team like this that went beyond the call of duty for our city; Jaipur Covid Support.
Initially started by a few people on a Whatsapp group, Jaipur Covid Support grew gradually with more experienced members who offered selfless services. From providing medical assistance to protecting livelihoods, giving authentic information to delivering resources, the group stepped up to help the people in the city literally door to door.
WHAT DO THEY DO?
- Connect people for help through networking and sharing experiences
- Help with precise information about oxygen, hospital beds, Remdisivir and other medicines, plasma & blood
- Help with online medical consultation with volunteer doctors on board
- Collect unused medicine from people who have recovered
- Arrange oxygen cylinders for people who could not arrange/afford
The team of Jaipur Covid Support is no less than Covid warriors. We want to express our deep gratitude to each and every member of this group, as we highlight some of them.
Abhishek Khaspuria, a Real Estate Consultant helped the citizens in guiding them with plasma and blood donation. He has also donated for a needy one in the process.
Dr. Dheeraj Gupta, a multi-talented Dentist, gave the idea of online medical help. This helped people who needed first-hand advice at odd hours and those who were not able to move out.
Dr. DD Gupta Sir, a Senior Physician at Apollo Spectra Hospital also helped with online consultancy.
There are some notable names that assisted in all the aspects of this mission:
Abhishek Tripathi, a Business Owner
Manish Chandwani, a Business Owner
Neelam Verma, a Homemaker
Seema Malhotra, an HR Consultant
Sunil Jain, an Architect
Such people restore our faith in humanity. If you know about similar Covid warriors in the city, share information with us at Jaipur Beat. Let’s spread positivity with more inspiring stories.
