As the deadly second wave of coronavirus hit the world which badly affected the health structure of India, the Islamic Republic of Iran has donated 300 oxygen concentrators to India among which Kashmir-based voluntary organization Ehsaas Trust International (ETI) has also been given a share.
A statement from ETI Thursday said that the oxygen concentrators have been actually donated by the Astan-e-Quds, a powerful religious institution of Iran on the directions of the spiritual head and the Supreme Leader of Iran Ayatollah Syed Ali Hussaini Khamenei.
The concentrators were delivered through the Ambassador of the Islamic Republic in New Delhi Dr. Agha Ali Chegeni.
While talking to The Kashmiriyat General Secretary of Ehsaas InternationaI Hakim Mohammed Ilyas said that earlier they had concentrators of 5 litre capacity only available which were not useful in case of severe cases, however, the Iranian concentrators that they have received now are of 10 litre capacity which will be extremely helpful in providing relief to patients with severe conditions.
Adding that “concentrators are of the best quality”, Hakim Mohammad Ilyas expressed his gratitude to the Iranian Ambassador in New Delhi and also to the representative of the Ayatollah Khamenei Hojat-al-Islam Aga Mehdavi Pur, for their efforts.
Hakim Mohammed Ilyas said that these concentrators shall be used in the COVID- Care Hospital, which is a joint initiative of Srinagar Municipality, Ehsaas Trust International, and Voluntary Medicare Society.
Ehsaaas Trust International is a Kashmir-based voluntary organisation that has been at the forefront of the battle against COVID-19, along with many other organisations, since the outbreak of the pandemic.
