Aim
We are converting hotels into Covid Care Isolation centres with oxygen beds and doctor’s consultations for early or mild stage covid patients, especially in the tier 2-3 cities like Lucknow, Kanpur, Patna, Nagpur etc. This will drastically reduce the burden on hospitals and they can focus on Critical care cases.
Background
I know the struggle one has to go through to get Oxygen cylinder or find an oxygen support bed because I lost my mother to Covid just 2 weeks back. And my father in law 8 months back.
I myself spent 10 days in the hospital.
Since then me and my brother Dr Rishabh have helped 100s of patients by providing oxygen cylinders, critical medicines, video consultations etc.
A Doctor and an Engineer began this journey but pretty soon many like minded people (particularly from IIT BHU) joined in and now we are a formidable force in the fight against covid.

- Oxygen concentrators
- Oxygen cylinders for backup
- Nursing Staff
- Full time Senior Resident Doctor
