In addition, Capgemini will also contribute Rs 5 crore to UNICEF to provide immediate support across India for critical Covid response care, by setting up three oxygen generation plants and RT-PCR testing machines to augment the government efforts to fight against Covid-19.

“As we continue to support our colleagues, we are also striving to extend help to the communities we live in by providing access to critical care, which is required immediately for the fight against Covid-19 as well as medical needs in the coming years,” Capgemini India CEO Ashwin Yardi in the statement. In 2020, Capgemini's Social Response Unit provided 65 fully equipped ICU beds to three BMC hospitals in Mumbai, as well as 100 oxygen concentrators and 65 High Flow Nasal Cannulas to 15 government hospitals across Bengaluru. These ICU beds, which are fully equipped with ventilators, ECG monitors, and other critical ICU patient-monitoring devices, are currently being used to treat patients critically affected by COVID-19.
