Free Ambulance Services For COVID+ Patients In Delhi by Wishes and Blessings NGO

Wishes and Blessings NGO Offers Free Ambulance Services For Needy COVID+ Patients In Delhi

The NGO is also providing medical essentials such as oximeters, paracetamol, masks and sanitisers to shelter homes and night shelters

New Delhi, May 13, 2021: Committed to aiding the needy and destitute, Delhi-based NGO Wishes and Blessings has launched free of cost transportation services for Covid-19 positive patients in need. The Ambulances will be providing services across Delhi to patients requiring transportation from their residences to the closest hospital/ treatment facility.

The NGO has launched 2 ambulances and will add more to the fleet based on the performance of the project and availability of funding. While one Ambulance is equipped with an oxygen cylinder, ready to use in case of an emergency, the other vehicle is a non-oxygen Ambulance. The service will be available 12 hours/day, all 7 days of the week. In the primary stage, Wishes and Blessings will be catering to calls from South and South West Delhi. Those wanting to avail the service may contact +91 85956 20046 (non-oxygen Ambulance) and +91 83688 86870 (oxygen Ambulance).

“During this crisis, one prime need of the hour is to ensure that Covid+ patients reach hospitals and get the treatment as promptly as possible, in order to receive timely medical intervention. Unfortunately, the destitute cannot afford to rent vehicles for safe transport to these facilities; there is a dearth of Ambulance services that the underprivileged can make use of, especially those that are equipped with oxygen support. Our services provide aid to exactly this demographic, completely free of cost,” says Dr. Geetanjali Chopra, Founder & President of Wishes and Blessings NGO.

In addition to providing free of cost Ambulance services, the NGO has started distributing medical essentials such as oximeters, paracetamol, masks and sanitisers to underprivileged and destitute residents of shelter homes and night shelters (rain-baseras) across Delhi, including Sarai Kale Khan, Delhi Gate, Munirka, Safdarjung and Okhla. “We are humbled to be able to offer aid directly to those on the ground. The rise of Covid cases is extremely worrying and the relief distributed ensures that there is regular monitoring of the beneficiaries, and immediate care and action can be taken if the residents fall ill,” adds Dr. Chopra.

The Wishes and Blessings Covid Relief Project was officially launched on day 1 of the lockdown i.e. 25th March 2020, and provided relief and aid in 7 states across India. Since then, the team has served over 20,00,000 meals, distributed 70,000+ dry ration kits and provided 23,000+ hygiene kits to the beneficiaries. Wishes and Blessings had launched the WB Ambulances for Covid Relief Project in August 2020 wherein free transport was provided to the underprivileged to reach treatment centres, as well as for executing tests in quarantine zones.

Currently, the Covid Relief Project is active in 6 states- Assam, Bihar, Delhi, Jharkhand, Tamil Nadu and West Bengal, and aims at fulfilling immediate and long term requirements of the needy and destitute affected by the Covid-19 crisis.

Wishes and Blessings

Wishes and Blessings is a registered NGO based in Delhi, with a presence in Assam, Jharkhand, Tamil Nadu and West Bengal. Set up under the aegis of Dr. Geetanjali Chopra in 2014, the organization cuts across the spectrum of gender and age to help those who need it. The NGO is a unique platform to connect donors and beneficiaries, to bring together those who are blessed to help those who have unfulfilled wishes. They believe that happiness is not just an end, but a means to an end as well, and therefore do not have one focus area but 6 causes among which are education, nutrition, care for elders, relief, customizable charity and the overall cause of happiness.

In the wake of promoting the ‘Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao’ campaign and building a Digital India, HKBK College of Engineering in association with 'Round Table India' have taken an initiative to empower girl children studying at various government schools in the city of Bangalore. The initiative aims to distribute 500 laptops, wherein they distributed 10 laptops as a pilot project.

The event held at the HKBK College of Engineering in the presence of Chief Guest, Sruthi Hariharan, and the Guest of Honours, Shashi K Garh (NHT) & Angadd KM (AC).

HKBK College of Engineering distributing laptops to empower Girls

In India, several students still get limited or no access to education let alone learning how to use a computer and other technical gadgets. With this initiative, HKBK College of Engineering and Round Table India will try to fill the digital gap to an extent. They’ll educate the students and will give them access to professional training over the time as part of the programme to empower them to go beyond their limits and find their path in life by educating themselves in every way possible. Digital India is stepping towards building a self-sufficient country, and this laptop distribution and professional training initiative will help make the difference.

Commenting on the same, CM Faiz, Director, HKBK College of Engineering, said, “The major concern behind working on this initiative was to have the chance to reach out to as many students as possible and to encourage them to study hard. And, what better timing than this - with the beginning of a new year, the students will have something empowering and new to look forward to in their lives. We should not underestimate the power of educated girl children as we have seen the likes of Kalpana Chawla, Indra Nooyi or Mari Kom, changing the face of India with their achievements in different fields."

Kinjal Sekar, an 8th-grade student who participated in the drive, said, “I have always wanted to learn how to use a computer because I see everyone use it. I think this is what makes them more smart and rich, and I want to do something really big in my life. I am grateful for this, and I hope several girls get such an opportunity in their life."

HKBK College of Engineering understands the value of education. The college believes in ‘Education for All’, and so, time and again takes similar initiatives to encourage students of all ages to study well and become better versions of themselves, to achieve something great in their lives.
