This is a pan India group of dedicated young volunteers (doctors, advocates, VPs, engineers, VCs, etc) working day and night to ensure that patients get the best care and lives are not lost and time not wasted in scrambling for resources.
"Proud to have spearheaded , what is turning out to be a truly pathbreaking movement. Reach out to us. We can’t guarantee success, but we promise to give our heart and soul into helping you in this era of #dystopia2021 " says Dr Radhika Batra, Founder and President of Every Infant Matters.
"When I got Covid, I was inundated with calls from across the country, with people calling desperately for help to save their loved ones. People were frantic: where can I get a hospital bed? How do we get oxygen? My father needs a ventilator? Where can my wife get a C section? And so on. This is why I started this movement," says Radhika

Call us, DM, Text, Tweet, if you need help.
Why the need? India’s health system has collapsed. No hospital beds. No ventilators. No ICUs. No monitors. No oxygen. No Covid medicines. There are waiting lists of 20-500 people in every hospital. But preference is given to VIPs. Nobody cares for the common man. The Covid task Force works 24/7 attending to people who need help, linking them with facilities, finding where we can get them prompt and best help, using our countrywide network of doctors both in public and private to address the issue.

Dr Radhika Batra, who is an Ambassador for the One Young World, UK, connected with fellow OYW Ambassador Arpith Jayaram (Associate Project Manager, Refinitiv) and his colleague at an organization called Youth For Seva. Together, the trio has provided 2,500 COVID-19 protection kits and N95 masks for healthcare personnel working on the frontlines of the pandemic in the two worst-hit states in India - Maharashtra and Karnataka.
Covid-19 warriors, Doctors and nurses are in the frontlines of the epidemic and at a very high risk of contracting the infection.

Nurses and doctors say hospitals haven’t provided them with sufficient protective equipment exposing them to infection. In Delhi, over 4,000 nurses are protesting, demanding better facilities.
Every Infant Matters has joined the fight to provide high quality protective equipment to hospital staff
Every Infant Matters partners with Shri Ram College of Commerce Alumni Association to carry out relief and distribution of essential items to low paid hospital workers who are in the frontlines in the fight against Covid-19. Dr. Girish Ahuja, President, and Mr. Avinash Gupta, Secretary of the SRCC Alumni Association are deeply concerned with the plight of frontline health workers. Mr. Avinash Gupta says: “Our Association wants to help those who are serving patients, but do not have the resources to buy their own personal protection kits, face shields and helmets. Nor can they buy unlimited supply of sanitizers and gloves and N-95 masks. We are honored that we are able to help people like ambulance drivers, sanitary workers, nurses and their assistants, kitchen staff, ward boys and technicians, and are able to supply them with essential items for their protection against the deadly virus. ” SRCC Alumni Association has funded the purchase of PPE kits, sanitizers, face shields and protective goggles, among other items. Every Infant Matters is distributing these in both government and private hospitals of Delhi.
We are supporting police personnel by distributing 200 face shields and 100 sanitizers in Noida.
