Indian American doctors raised USD 5 million for COVID-19 relief in India, according to the American Association of Physicians of Indian-Origin (AAPI), The fund raised by the influential Indian American doctors was used to provide 2,300 oxygen concentrators, 100 ventilators and 100 high-flow nasal cannula machines to 45 hospitals in India, AAPI, which represents thousands of Indian-origin doctors in the US, said on Tuesday.
Amid reports that the third wave is likely to hit India by the end of August, AAPI said it was working with several agencies and the Indian government to help with care and supplies to the remotest places in India. American Association of Physicians of Indian-Origin is the largest ethnic medical organisation in the United States representing the interest of more than 100,000 physicians in the country.
“AAPI will continue to use the remaining funds in preparation for the impending Covid third wave,” said Dr Anjana Samadder, AAPI vice-president.
