Now our target is to assist the authorities in vaccinating the remaining urban population of Pune. The PMC team has been working tirelessly to vaccinate the city and we are happy that together we are able to accelerate that work.”
Bajaj Group has committed Rs 300 crore since the start of the pandemic to support the fight against COVID-19. The support was utilised to alleviate the immediate on-ground challenges as well as to build capacity and resources. In addition to the vaccine doses, the Group has facilitated the installation of 12 oxygen plants to provide more than 5,000 LPM of oxygen supply to rural and urban hospitals, along with respiratory support equipment like oxygen concentrators, ventilators, and BiPaps, to help augment their capacity in treating COVID-19 patients.
