Dr. Ramen Goel, President, of the Indian Association of Gastrointestinal Endosurgeons (IAGES), which is a body with over 8000 surgeons, has set up a task force.
These bariatric surgeons are coming forward to provide personal protective equipment (PPE) to designated public sector hospitals by distributing masks, gowns etc., to protect the healthcare workers.
“Medical staff working round the clock at various hospitals to save the lives of corona patients are at high risk of contracting this infection themselves. We, at IAGES, are procuring masks and personal protective equipment and have already distributed to Covid designated government hospitals in Mumbai, Kolkata, Coimbatore, Kanyakumari, Trichy, Gwalior and Perundurai” shares Dr Goel. He appeals to civil society to write to presidentiages@gmail.com and support in whatever way possible.
