MISSION SANJEEVANI: OXFAM INDIA'S COVID-19 RESPONSE 2.0

Strengthening our healthcare system became the priority and so Mission Sanjeevani— our COVID response 2.0 was born. The focus of the response was to reach out to public healthcare institutions (at different levels) and  provide them with medical equipment —such as oxygen cylinder, BiPAP machines, testing kits and diagnostic equipment support— along with PPE kit & safety kit for the frontline health workers.

With increasing unemployment since the first lockdown it was also inevitable that we would continue to reach the most marginalised and vulnerable communities with food and safety kit. We have continued our work on spreading awareness through mobile van campaigns and Adhikar Vaani.

We set up a COVICALL Centre—SANJEEVANI—for all COVID and Non-COVID related medical queries, including information regarding oxygen cylinders, ICU beds, medicines. The centre will answer queries in English, Hindi, Bengali, Odiya, Marathi and Kannada. For now the Centre is open between 10 AM and 6 PM. The number to remember is 1800-102-6869.
