BCCI To Contribute 2000 Oxygen Concentrators In India's Battle Against COVID-19

Over the next few months, the BCCI is set to distribute concentrators to needy patients across the nation.

Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Monday announced that it will contribute 2000 10-Litre Oxygen concentrators towards India's fight against the coronavirus pandemic. Over the next few months, the BCCI is set to distribute concentrators to needy patients across the nation.

"The BCCI acknowledges the stellar role the medical and healthcare community has played and continues to play as we fight this long battle against the virus. They have truly been frontline warriors and have done whatever possible to shield us.

The Board has always put health and safety at the top of the chart and remains committed to the cause. The oxygen concentrators will provide immediate relief to those affected and will help in their speedy recovery," BCCI President Sourav Ganguly said in an official release.

On the other hand, Secretary Jay Shah said: "We stand shoulder to shoulder in this collective fight against the virus. The BCCI understands the desperate need for medical equipment in this hour of crisis and hopes this effort will help in narrowing the demand-supply gap that has generated across the country. We have all gone through a lot but I am confident that we can stay ahead of the curve now that the vaccination drive is underway. I urge everyone eligible to get vaccinated."
