The flag-off event of ‘JANANI’ took place recently. This is a welfare project for the people who live in slum areas. Emergency medical kits and complete healthcare support was donated to fight against the Covid-19 Pandemic and Dengue. The event was attended by renowned actor & social worker, Mr. Rudranil Ghosh and social worker, Mr. Anand Sinha. The initiative was supported by Ohho Express, Online Grocery & Home Essential Store and Sanjiban Hospital.

Each emergency kit consists of a thermometer, cotton, Dettol, burnol, sanitizer, mask, gloves, vitamin B complex, paracetamol, bleaching powder and okadine gargle.

The people who live in slum areas are highly prone to be the carrier of Covid-19 virus. In West Bengal there are 35 hundred slums, where around 20 lakhs people take shelter. The vision of Janani Emergency Medical Kit is to protect every family not only from Covid-19, but also from Dengue. The project has started with the idea to visit different slum every 15 days and creating awareness and distributing emergency medical kits for the next six months. Sanjiban Hospital has also tied a knot with the project, ‘JANANI’. Stage 2 & 3 Covid-19 positive patients from these slums will be treated from the hospital for free of cost.

A grand initiative indeed in these trying times!!
