Covid care capacity expansion at Prakriya Hospitals
CSR Activity - Phase 1

With the rising cases of Covid 19 in Bangalore and across the country there is severe shortage of Oxygen beds, ICU beds, Oxygen and essential drugs supply to Hospitals. Prakriya Hospital is in the process of adding more Covid care beds in its premises.

We are seeking funds for developing additional 50 Ward beds and 5 ICU beds for the care of Covid 19 Patients.

The proposal for Phase 1 is published here. We look forward for your contribution for this noble cause.

Overview

This is a collaboration project between Prakriya Hospitals, Cytecare Hospitals, Humanist Centre for
Medicine (not for profit), healthcare entrepreneurs and well-wishers to enhance the Covid-care
capacity at Prakriya Hospitals, Bangalore.

Phase 1 of this project envisages the following:

1. Enhancing Covid-care bed capacity – additional 50 beds (existing 150 beds) including 5 ICU beds with ventilators – for needy/ poor patients

2. Establishing a medical oxygen generation plant to increase capacity of treatment of patients with oxygen requirements by over 100 patients per day

3. Procurement of 50 oxygen concentrators for utilisation for Home care – to allow for management of patients at home/ Prakriya, delayed admission of patients, or early discharges of patients, freeing up bed capacity at Prakriya for more serious patients. An oversight and connect model using a central clinical command centre is already available to make this possible.

Funding requirements of the project (details in Annexure 1)

Deployment of funds

Humanist will be able to receive funds from Indian donors and deploy 100% of the capital received towards this project with no administrative costs. We expect the deployment of this funds before 10 May, 2021. The activation of the 50 bed covid-care facility and ICU beds is expected to be completed by then as well. The Medical oxygen generation plant has a 4-6 week lead time from order date, and we are aiming at completion before 15 June 2021. The procurement of 50 oxygen concentrators can also be immediate (lead time 10 days) and should be activated by 10 May, 2021.
