Cipla launches initiative to improve access to nebulisers for acute asthma management in primary healthcare centres of rural India

Cipla to donate 5000 nebulisers to primary health care centres in India

Cipla has announced a initiative to improve access to nebulisation therapy specifically for patients in the rural sections of the country.

The company aims to distribute 5000 nebulisers to primary healthcare setups in India where nebulisation therapy is not available currently, thus enabling access for the masses. These CHCs (Community Health Centers)/PHCs (Primary Health Centers) across several  states in the country namely-Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, West Bengal, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Tamil Nadu, Uttarakhand, Punjab, Sikkim will be adopted by Cipla to create good nebulisation centers, spread awareness regarding the therapy and undertake trainings for the associated paramedical staff on the science of safe nebulisation practices.

With an aim to address the low awareness around nebulisation in acute disease management, Cipla is also attempting to create a World Record of making the ‘largest nebuliser sentence’ with these 5000 nebulisers. The statement reads ‘Breathe Free’ and it will be recorded in the Guinness Book of World Records.
