The President of the Rotary Club of Madras Dr Vijaya Bharathi Rangarajan along with President Elect Kapil Chitale and Rtn Ashok Thakker met the Health Secretary Dr J Radhakrishnan in his chamber and handed over the consignment.  The Hospitals are Rajiv Gandhi Govt Hospital, Stanley Hospital, Govt Women's Hospital Egmore, Kilpauk Medical College and Omandurar Govt Medical College. The equipment included  ventilators, PPE Kits, Nasal Oxygenator and other related items.

Dr Bharathi said that her club and all members spontaneously agreed to help to get the equipment immediately. The Covid -19 pandemic that has
hit the world has shown the lack of infrastructure in dealing with the virus in every country. Our basic research showed that most Hospitals in Chennai were in desperate need of support in terms of critical care and personal protective equipment, therefore we purchased equipment which were the most sought after by hospitals to treat and save lives.
