Bollywood star and philanthropist Sonu Sood, who has been trying to help as many people as possible amid the raging second COVID-19 wave, had ordered oxygen plants, and these plants would now be installed at hospitals in different states. Sonu and his team are currently in the process of setting up an oxygen plant at Kurnool Government Hospital which will be followed by setting the next one at District Hospital, Atmakur, Nellore, followed by other states.
He had already acquired the necessary permissions from the municipal commissioner, the collector, and the other relevant authorities. This plant will help thousands of people living in Kurnool and Nellore and the neighbouring villages by providing oxygen to
them during these testing times.
Speaking about the plant at Kurnool Government Hospital, the district collector S.Ramsundar Reddy IAS said, "We are really thankful to Sonu Sood for his humanitarian gesture. The oxygen plant arranged by him will help in treating 150 to 200 Covid patients at Kurnool Government Hospital every day."
Adding to that, Sonu said, "This is the need of the hour to improve the health care especially in the rural areas. I feel these plants will help the needy people to fight Covid -19 bravely. After Andhra Pradesh, we will be setting few more plants in few more other states between June and July. Right now, we are identifying the needy hospitals of various states."
