Oxygen concentrators to jabs: IBM helps community as second wave surges

Technology giant IBM is helping colleagues and the community with critical resources amidst the medical emergency due to the second Covid-19 surge in the country.

The Big Blue said in a blog post that it has set up a dedicated 24×7 medical helpline through healthcare firm Portea for a variety of services including doctor consultation, and medical, home care and testing services. It is offering round the clock emergency transport services for medical requirements for both employees and their immediate family members who are Covid positive (for transport to a medical facility). It also applies to those who are Covid negative (for procuring medical supplies or attend to impacted family members).
