PANDEMIC IN INDIA IS OUT OF CONTROL – PEOPLE ARE IN URGENT NEEDS DUE TO
BREAKDOWN OF HEALTHCARE SYSTEM
Outbreak of Coronavirus in India is worsening now. Daily confirmed cases exceed 300
thousand several days in a row. According to the government of India, there are around
1.95 COVID-19 related deaths every minute. Total confirmed cases are now more than 17.6
million with nearly 200 thousand death cases. Experts believe that India has not yet reached
the peak of the crisis. Daily confirmed cases might hit 500 thousand in May. People in India
need your urgent help now! Healthcare system in India is on the verge of collapse due to
uncontrollable pandemic. Hospitals cannot afford to accept new patients so people have no
choice but to be treated at home. However, due to lack of supply, the prices of medical
equipment, including oxygen cylinders, oxygen concentrators and medicine, are
unaffordable even in black market. “The pandemic has caused many deaths in India.
Worsening economic condition also leads to a raising number of unemployment. Families
have exhausted their savings during the five-month lockdown across the country. Due to
collapse of healthcare system, children and women are not only facing food insecurity but
also the threat of getting infected. Their safety is at great risk and the situation is heart-
breaking and worrying. Please offer your immediate helping hand and join us to save more
lives by supporting our emergency relief work!” Dr Kanie Siu, CEO of Plan International
Hong Kong, said. To help ease the crisis in coming three months, Plan International will
carry out the “Help India Heal” project to provide direct support to front line medical
workers and around 200 thousand families which are being affected by the pandemic.

and food security for a million of poor and vulnerable families, especially girls and young
women.
