QNET supports free medical care to COVID-19 patients in Bengaluru

100-bed free hospital with ICU facilities, started by B’lore tech firm Globals with support from QNET, Presidency University, and Rotary Manyata

Asia’s leading direct selling company, through its CSR arm, RYTHM Foundation has joined hands with a group of young entrepreneurs in Bengaluru to convert a non-operational hospital into a free COVID Care Health Centre through Project CoHeal.

The funding from QNET has helped transform the disused Rajiv Gandhi Medical Hospital building in R.T Nagar into a 100-bed COVID Care facility that provides free, round-the-clock care to those who need it the most.

Project CoHeal is the brainchild of the young entrepreneurs behind Bengaluru based technology firm Globals Inc who joined hands with the Rotary Club Manyata and Presidency University to launch this as a joint CSR initiative.

The support from QNET’s Indian business facilitated by the company’s CSR arm, the RYTHM Foundation has helped equip the hospital with Oxygen Concentrators, HFNC ICU Ventilators, and also covers the payroll for the doctors and nurses of the hospital for the next 6 months.

This 24-hour COVID care hospital has zero cash counters, assuring patients that treatment is 100% free. It is also in the process of incorporating a dedicated paediatric wing as well as building intensive care unit (ICU) capabilities. Other facilities in the hospital include a clinic, elevators for stretchers, oxygen flow meters, pharmacy, lobby, X-Ray, washroom, AC, parking zone, and doctor’s lounge.
