Each patient will have to provide his or her doctor prescription or RTPCR report and a copy of his or her Aadhar card, to avail the free oxygen facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We plan to see how this initiative goes for the next ten days and then we will scale up to 10 buses thereafter&#8221;&nbsp;<strong>says Dr. Satish Kumar Jain of Maharaja Agrasen Hospital<\/strong>. Each patient will be able to use the oxygen for 2 hours and will also be given a free nasal canula for the oxygen flow to be connected to the flow meter and regulator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>On this initiative, Mr. Bijay Agarwal, Chairman of Greenwood High Int&#8217;l School said<\/strong>&nbsp;&#8211; &#8220;When Dr Satish Jain approached me with this idea, I was immediately keen to be a part of this very noble initiative. The first bus will hit the road today. This initiative was inaugurated by Mr. R Ashoka, Hon\u2019ble Minister for Revenue, Government of Karnataka, who has supported this cause wholeheartedly, in his constituency and readily agreed to be a part this timely initiative. \u201cWe thank him for taking time out and standing in solidarity with us\u201d&nbsp;<strong>say Mr. Bijay Agarwal and Mrs Niru Agarwal, Managing Trustees of the school.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Citizens who wish to avail this facility can call the Hospital\u2019s Admin at: 09620304864.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Maharaja Agrasen Hospital, Bengaluru, in association with Greenwood High International School, Bengaluru has come up with a life saving initiative offering critical support to patients&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2935,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27,18],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2934","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-highlight-news","category-nation"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsripples.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2934","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsripples.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsripples.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsripples.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsripples.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2934"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsripples.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2934\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2936,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsripples.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2934\/revisions\/2936"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsripples.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2935"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsripples.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2934"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsripples.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2934"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsripples.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2934"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
