Earlier, on Sunday India received three oxygen generators and 1,000 ventilators from the United Kingdom.

Signifying the importance of the Indian Red Cross Society which is a voluntary humanitarian organization to protect human life and health, the British High Commission (BHC) said that this institution will help transfer the UK aid to the hospitals. The High Commission also added that this covid-19 assistance is in addition to 200 ventilators and 495 oxygen concentrators, which the UK sent to India in late April.

UK Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab had said that, "The UK is sending surplus oxygen generators from Northern Ireland to India. This life-saving equipment will support the country's hospitals as they care for vulnerable Covid patients."

As India struggles to contain the disastrous surge in Covid-19 cases, such medical assistance will surely help the country in battling the pandemic.
