After battling Covid-19 in April and seeing the toll it takes on one’s body, Bhumi Pednekar wasted no time in launching Covid Warrior, a social media initiative that identifies and sources hospital beds, oxygen and plasma for those affected. As the second wave of the pandemic rages on in India, the actor is ramping up her efforts to save as many lives as possible. Now, she has teamed up with spiritual leader Sri Sri Ravi Shankar and The Art of Living Foundation for Mission Zindagi.
The pan-India initiative has volunteers serving the virus-hit in Mumbai, Pune, Hyderabad, Delhi, Bengaluru, Kolkata and other cities. The relief programme has seven verticals, beginning with hospital updates related to the availability of oxygen and non-oxygen beds, connecting ambulances for emergencies, and arrangement of oxygen cylinders’ and concentrators’ donation. It also aids home-isolated patients, who are showing mild symptoms, by providing on-call doctor consultation. Putting an emphasis on mental well-being in such trying times, the endeavour has roped in mental health professionals who organise virtual meditation and yoga workshops and provide counselling.
