BREATH OF LIFE
We are happy to share the story of Mr Rajendra who was referred from another covid centre. Mr Rajendra suffered from severe covid and was requiring 15 lit/min of oxygen to maintain a saturation of 78%. Mr Rajendra has been in ICU for more than 12 days. His repeat test was negative and his oxygen requirement decreased to 5 lit/min, we received the Oxygen concentrator from O2forIndia just on time when Mr Rajendra could be shifted to a step-down Resuscitation room where he could occasionally see and talk to his dear one's.
We would like to thank the great team of O2forindia for their efforts in helping patients like Rajendra see another day.
Regards
Dr Priyamvada and Dr Sapan.

What do we do?
We are Indian nationals spread across the world working together to procure Oxygen concentrators from China and help distribute them in various cities in India. We have already secured 450 5L units, which will be airlifted to Delhi & Chennai and then redistributed to various cities across India.

How can I help?
Please donate if you can. Each unit costs $351 US dollars
As we raise more funds we can purchase more units. We have a manufacturer who is willing and capable of 1000 units.
How do these concentrators help?
An oxygen concentrator is an electrical device that takes the room air, removes the nitrogen and other impurities, and compresses the oxygen. Then 90-95% pure oxygen is dispensed through a cannula.
Oxygen concentrators are immensely helpful for patients with moderate oxygen needs and will help free up the beds for patients with higher oxygen needs.
