Transasia Bio-Medicals Ltd., India’s Leading IVD Company has stepped up its efforts to augment the capacity of various state governments to provide timely oxygen support to their citizens.  As India fights the second wave of the pandemic, Transasia has swiftly arranged to provide 200 BiPAP machines, to be distributed to various COVID-dedicated hospitals across India. In lieu of the current shortage in the availability of these machines, Transasia has procured BiPAP machines from its global vendors.

Speaking on the initiative Mr. Vazirani, Founder Chairman, Transasia-Erba Group, said, “The second wave is devastating and is taking a toll on the healthcare system of our country. While we are hopeful that things will turn around for the country soon, I have also realized that just hope is not enough. Transasia remains committed to the health of Indians and through our small effort, we intent to reach out to those severely impacted and in urgent need. This is one of the several few initiatives and we intend to continue to use our resources and technology, to aid the Central and state health ministries.”

Transasia has already pledged the BiPAP machines to several beneficiaries through the state governments in Delhi, Uttar Pradesh (Lucknow and Raebareli), Rajasthan (Jaipur and Ajmer), West Bengal, Assam, Agartala, Maharashtra (Mumbai and Panchgani), Karnataka (Chikkamagaluru, Tumkur, Udupi, Chitradurga and Vijayapura), Telangana and Tamil Nadu.
