Abstract

I write this with both a sense of urgency as well as some satisfaction: urgency because the situation in India continues to be serious. We therefore must move urgently to reduce as much of the pressure that Indian doctors, hospitals, health care agencies and related government agencies are facing. The country is almost fully under lockdown, and therefore even delivering essential medical equipment takes a lot of planning, getting permissions, and finding courageous volunteers to deliver them.
