As of May 27, India has 152,000 COVID-19 cases countrywide—in the last week the total has risen 6,000-7,000 each day. There have been 4,337 deaths reported so far. Over a third of the cases and deaths have occurred in the state of Maharashtra where Chinchpada Christian Hospital and GM Priya Hospital are located.
EHA staff continue to distribute food and essentials to those in need despite the dramatic loss of income the hospitals are experiencing due to lack of patients. Many locations have begun a second round of food distribution, focusing on those most in need—people with disabilities, widows, pregnant women, and palliative care patients.
All of EHA’s hospitals are open; seven have been designated as COVID-19 facilities despite their lack of equipment and protective gear. Many patients are struggling to get needed non-COVID care and medications, and EHA is doing its part to provide medical care to all. Please keep them in your prayers.
