TSF Pune had received a request from Dr. Uma Wankhedkar (Gynecology) at Sassoon Hospital for N95 Masks and Face shields. Resident Doctors and nurses did not have the N95 masks and face shield and were really under a lot of stress as they had barely any protection while catering to Covid positive patients. TSF volunteers visited Sassoon hospital on 18th May, 2020 to deliver the protective gear to help 30 doctors and nurses. Dr. Uma with other doctors and HOD Dr. Bhosale received TSF representatives very warmly and and thanked us with a lot of humility. We made them aware of the founder of TSF, Sri M and also about the various TSF activities. Incidentally 10 days back they admitted full term Covid +ve pregnant ladies and 2 days ago all 4 patients along with their new borns were discharged after testing Covid -ve . They were all so proud of this outcome and it was equally encouraging for us to hear such great news.

Items included: N95 Mask – 100, Face Shield - 100
