The second wave of COVID-19 in mid-2021 was characterized by a massive surge in positive cases, severe respiratory distress, and an acute shortage of medical oxygen. Local hospitals and families struggled to secure critical care beds and life-saving equipment.
During this crisis, Chhanyado launched **COVID-19 Crisis Response (Phase II)**. The trust immediately purchased and distributed **high-capacity oxygen concentrators, oxygen cylinders, and bipap machines** to patients in home isolation and emergency hospital wards.
We also opened dedicated medical helpline rooms, helping thousands of families coordinate ambulance pick-ups, locate hospital beds, and obtain critical medicines (like Remdesivir) under transparent processes.
