Mukti Reached at Remote Village to Help the Covid Patients

The remote areas of West Bengal that was largely remained unaffected in the first wave of Covid in 2020, is now witnessing a rapid increase in Covid cases. The lack of awareness and reluctance to submit to testing and treatment make the rural population more susceptible to Covid. The problem is compounded by the fact that most of the medical infrastructure, especially the tertiary centers, is concentrated in the cities which they can’t access due to huge distance.

Mukti, to stop the second wave of Covid from sweeping the remote rural areas, where the bulk of the population lives had sent oxygen concentrators, medicines and other Covid care equipment. Mukti is not only helping the rural patients but also outstretched the Covid care service for the need of the remote patients also.
