The UnitedHealth Group yesterday said that it is donating $1 million (Rs 7.4 crores) through United Health Foundation in response to the growing coronavirus crisis in India.
This donation extends the company’s global commitment to fight COVID-19, including a previous donation of $1.5 million to India, UnitedHealth Group said in a statement.
The contribution will fund the procurement of 2,500 oxygen concentrators to help address the country’s nation-wide shortage of oxygen as well as other critical medical equipment essential for treating severe COVID-19 infection, it added.
The oxygen concentrators will be delivered to Niti Aayog to ensure they are deployed to state hospitals where the need is significant, the statement said.
“This additional contribution will provide much-needed relief with core medical equipment and supplies to help India’s healthcare professionals combat the devastating impact of COVID-19,” Laura Ciavola, President, Optum Global Solutions, a UnitedHealth Group business, said.
