Former India all-rounder Yuvraj Singh recently joined other celebrities to help his country in the fight against the second deadly wave of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) across the country.
Recently, India’s World Cup-winning cricketer announced that his foundation YouWeCan will set up 1000 COVID-19 Critical Care Beds in hospitals across the most affected areas of the country.
Yuvraj wanted to help his countrymen in the testing time of the COVID-19 pandemic and he decided to launch the initiative in partnership with One Digital Entertainment to help and enhance the capacity of government, army, autonomous, and charitable hospitals to defeat the Coronavirus.
Apart from oxygen-equipped beds, the YouWeCan will also provide ventilators, BiPAP machines, and other essential medical equipment to various hospitals for critical care of COVID-19 patients.
The former cricketer took to Twitter on June 1 to announce his contribution to India’s fight against the COVID-19 pandemic. He tweeted, “The 2nd wave of COVID has been devastating. Countless lives have been lost & thousands have had to struggle. #Mission1000Beds is an effort to enhance the critical care capacity of hospitals. Join our fight so that we can save valuable lives.”
The move has been hailed by many cricketers including former England skipper Kevin Pieterson, his former teammates Zaheer Khan, Irfan Pathan, Harbhajan Singh, and Parthiv Patel on Twitter.
