Every Breath Matters

The COVID-19 Oxygen Emergency is impacting more than 500,000 people in India, Bangladesh and Pakistan. Every 4 deaths can be prevented through the provision of oxygen in critical situations.

Every day, as demand surges and shortages of oxygen and health services are causing preventable deaths across India, Bangladesh and Pakistan.

The figure of 500,000 people that are impacted does not include the millions of patients, including newborn babies and children with pneumonia, malaria, and other ailments, who also require medical oxygen therapy each year.

COVID-19 has put huge pressures on health systems with hospitals running out of oxygen.

Muslim Charity Intervention

Muslim Charity along with our partners in India, Bangladesh and Pakistan are providing immediate relief to the people of underprivileged backgrounds suffering from coronavirus and other ailments by providing Oxygen Concentrators, Oxygen Cylinders, Pulse Oximeters and ailment medicines to the affected populations.

Due to the shortage of hospital beds, we have also introduced a new and innovative approach to providing home-based oxygen services to prevent unnecessary death.

Our COVID-19 Response Approach (for home-based provisions of oxygen):

1. Patients in need of oxygen are referred to Muslim Charity and its partners by the professional medical staff.
2. Muslim Charity and its partners’ staff delivers oxygen cylinders along with canola and masks to patients’ homes.

3. The carer or relatives of the patient is trained on the usage of oxygen.
4. The patient and their relatives can contact our partners on a dedicated telephone service or via text messages for advice.
5. Once the oxygen cylinder is no more needed by the patient, our team collects it and returns it to the medical centre where it is disinfected for the use of next person.

“Whenever a patient contact us, he/she is connected to our medical team consisting of doctors and counsellors. Over call, our doctors examine the patients and if oxygen therapy is needed, we deliver the cylinder. In case a patient already has a prescription of some other doctor recommending oxygen therapy, we ask them to send it to us and then the same process follows. During the course of treatment, all patients are medically supervised and monitored.” (Frontline health worker in India)
