To develop Karkala Government Hospital, UPCL, through Adani Foundation, under its CSR activities, handed over Rs 78.18 lakh to the district administration; funds will be used to set up 10 pediatric ventilator beds and purchase medical equipment.
This was a step towards tackling the third wave of Covid-19 as DD was symbolically handed over by UPCL President Kishore Alva to Deputy Commissioner M Kurma Rao. In the past, the foundation had given Rs 40 lakh to the district administration to tackle the pandemic. The funds were used in Udupi district hospitals Kundapura and Karkala taluk hospitals.
The district administration and health department had appealed to UPCL to donate funds for setting up a 10-bed ICU ventilator for children at Karkala taluk hospital. Multipara Monitor, central monitoring system, syringe infusion pump, drip infusion pump, modular wall mount monitor stand, cardiac table and other equipment will be installed in the hospital, said Kishore Alva.
