Aam Aadmi Party on Wednesday launched its “#GoansAgainstCorona campaign” and announced the beginning of training and deployment of volunteers armed with Pulse oximeters to save lives across Goa.
Over 400 trained AAP volunteers designated as "oximitras" will go door to door to check the oxygen saturation levels of residents across the state. The volunteers will be equipped with necessary protective gears like face shield, mask, hand gloves and sanitizers along with oximeters.
The campaign is focussed on checking blood oxygen levels as the sudden reduction in oxygen levels in the blood is a characteristic symptom of the infection, which can also be fatal.
Elvis Gomes, Goa state Convener AAP, said, “I am happy to announce the launch of this campaign. I am sure that the unified effort of the Goans will help in defeating corona. This is one of the largest activities that AAP Goa will be undertaking and we are very thankful to so many Goenkars, who have come forward to support us in this initiative.”
Rahul Mhambre has been appointed as the campaign incharge for this activity. "Timely detection of low oxygen levels on people can help prevent many deaths which is the most important thing for us right now. Our volunteers will be well trained to conduct this exercise in a safe manner,” Mhambre stated.
AAP has urged those who want to support the initiative to give a missed call on 7504750475. Apart from this, AAP Goa will also initiate a “corona info line” through Whatsapp, whereby people can get all the local updates and health tips with respect to Covid - 19.
Interestingly, the AAP government in Delhi has also focussed on a similar strategy by providing oximeters to all patients recovering in home isolation so they could monitor their oxygen levels and get medical help if they notice a sudden drop in blood oxygen level.
Congratulating AAP Goa on the launch of the initiative, AAP National Convenor and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said, “I am happy that Aam Aadmi Party Goa is starting this very important campaign along with many Goans. In the last few weeks, many people in Goa, concerned about the rising cases and increasing deaths in Goa, have been approaching AAP Goa that the citizens ought to do something. I congratulate AAP Goa and wish them good luck.”
