To support Delhi and National Capital Region hospitals with oxygen in light of demand outstripping supply, Gurgaon-based startup founders have launched ‘Mission Oxygen’ to import oxygen concentrators. The machine concentrates oxygen from the ambient air and supplies it to the patient.

The startup founders have raised INR.4.70cr through crowdfunding platform Ketto by Saturday evening, and are aiming to raise a total of INR 5 cr to meet the demand of 3000 concentrators. The group has already procured 500 concentrators from China which will be made available in hospitals by April 28 and another 500 are expected to be ordered by Saturday evening.
