Amazon, Facebook, Vivo, others extend support for Covid relief efforts

NEW DELHI: Enterprises across the board — including Facebook, Amazon, Oppo and Vivo — are extending support in India’s fight against Covid-19, donating oxygenators, breathing machines and ventilators amid the deadly second wave of the pandemic in the country.

Amazon India on Tuesday said it has procured 100 ventilators through its global resources to immediately import these into the country.

The company has worked with the ministry of health and family welfare (MoHFW) to ensure the ventilators are of acceptable technical specification and carried out its own compatibility checks to immediately fund 100 units of the Medtronic (MT) device and bring them into India for urgent use.
