A 120 bedded Covid Care Facility Rapid Relief Center was setup by Anesthesia Associates with Sustainability Initiatives at Ganesh Kala Krida Centre which is a famous Sports and Cultural auditorium in Pune, India. This space was allotted by Pune Municipal Corporation, the Mayor’s Office, along with installation of additional toilet facilities and laying of the required oxygen supply lines. Two more organisations namely, Aloha Lifestyle Centre, Pune & Kapila Naari, Pune were also a part of this initiative who took care of providing experts, doctors and required medical staff for the center.
