The Need of the hour is to Mobilize Medical equipment and supplies on a war-footing
“We need ambulances, thermometers, masks, we need to hire staff, and so much more... there's so much left to do, and such limited time. China constructed, from the ground up, a 25,000sft hospital in just 8 days to battle the novel coronavirus. We have 2 weeks, and thankfully we already have a hospital as well. We just need the equipment and staff to turn it into a specialized COVID-19 Emergency Quarantine Hospital, ready to observe suspected cases, and treat confirmed cases. Our resources are extremely stretched, through our own efforts, and because we’ve been helping the government all over the country. We need your help to get this Emergency Hospital running, and we need the help now. Time is more critical than it has ever been. Donate as much as you can.” — Dr. Ravikant
A complete list of requirements needed by DFY:
Excess funds raised will be deployed by DFY towards opening more Covid Care Centres, increasing the number of beds, and extending much needed support to other COVID care centres. The DFY team is currently catering to 1100+ hospitals under the "Protect the Protectors" program and will divert the resources to hospitals that are in need of assistance.
