In a bid to tackle the pandemic in Goa, Vedanta has stepped up to offer its help to ramp up the state's medical foundation and treatment facilities. Reportedly, it will provide 100 beds, 80 oxygenated and 20 for critical care and 5 ventilators along with related equipment to ensure infra boost. Apart from this, other instruments and facilities to run a full-fledged hospital will also be provided. The clinical framework of this additional facility is expected to complete in the next 15-20 days.

Besides this support, Vedanta Sesa has also pledged to provide oxygen support to Goa Government and district administration. Around 3 tonnes of free LMO will be supplied from the Amona Plant per day, read reports. As yet, this manufacturing unit has already delivered over 60 tonnes of medical-grade oxygen for the benefit of COVID patients. The Vedanta aid also expands to cover the provision of 200 oxygen concentrators out of which, 100 have already been supplied.

Sauvick Mazumdar, CEO, Iron & Steel, Vedanta Limited said, "At Vedanta, "Care" for our community, and the development of our nation is our DNA that we strive by it. We believe in giving back to the communities and support, during this unprecedented situation due to COVID-19 pandemic. We are constantly supporting Goa Govt in combating COVID through various means, and through our collective efforts, we will tide over this COVID pandemic"

Vedanta's aid during the first wave of infection

This is not the first time that Venda Limited has reached to Goa's aid amid the pandemic. During the first wave of COVID-19 last year, the company had supported state administration, frontline workers and communities in the mining belt with food and groceries. They had also arranged for masks, sanitisers, awareness campaign and even sanitisation drives at public places to maximise civic hygiene.
