The Mormugao branch of Indian Red Cross Society (IRCS) on Saturday said oxygen cylinders available with them would be offered to needy Covid patients in the community.

Covid patients in Goa had suffered a lot due to lack of oxygen cylinders and hence, IRCS Mormugao arranged some cylinders which can be availed by patients after following certain conditions,” said Mormugao IRCS Chairperson Fiola Rego.

Rego said Mormugao branch IRCC had been involved in various initiatives such as conducting blood donations camps, distribution of sanitisers, masks, providing meals to migrant workers, distribution of grocery items to weaker sections of society and providing some items at the Chicalim hospital.

Rego said all those in need of oxygen cylinders are requested to contact the branch.

Mormugao IRCS Vice Chairperson Dr Kirti Naik and Dr Shweta Varshney also spoke on the occasion. The branch secretary Jaiamol Naik, treasurer Krishna Salkar and members, Shami Salkar, Arnaldo Rego and William Cardozo were also present.
