Oximeter drive a big success in Goa, over 2 lakh households covered, says AAP

PANAJI
Aam Aadmi Party’s (AAP) Oximeter campaign that was launched on September 9 has proved to be very successful as over 2 lakh households have been covered so far, said the party on Saturday.

According to AAP convenor Rahul Mhambre, at a time when the BJP government was unable to provide even the basic amenities to the people, AAP launched the ‘Oximitra’ campaign which assured the people of their oxygen level.

Mhambre also recalled how the government failed to attend to the needs of the people. “Even medical facilities were woeful with Covid patients made to sleep on the floor at GMC and ESI hospital turning away patients due to lack of beds,” Mhambre said.

“We donated 500 oximeters to patients in home quarantine and who were in need of checking their oxygen levels,” said AAP convenor Rahul Mhambre.

Applauding the around 500 AAP volunteers who visited the 2 lakh households, Mhambre said all households in the state would be covered by November 15.

“The Oximitra campaign has in a way helped connect patients and people to the Primary Health Center,” he said while admitting it also popularised AAP with the people.

“People of Parra for example sternly told Michael Lobo’s wife that the BJP was not doing anything and also stopping AAP which is helping people,” he said.
