Prameya Foundation, Echoes Project and Probaashe Bangali Adda are setting up "Oxyzone" Centers in Kolkata, to provide free oxygenation for Covid patients. Eleven Oxyzones have been set up in Jadavpur, Sodepur, two in Khidderpore (Khidderpore2 ), Salt Lake, Uttarpara, Bhawanipore, Moore Avenue, Kasba, Gosaba and one in Sundarbans. Plans are in motion to create even more Oxyzones, one in Purulia and one in Patuli. The Oxyzones have 2-3 bed capacities, have oxygen cylinders/concentrators, santization centers, pulse oxymeter, blood pressure monitors, and volunteers (who would take necessary precautions by wearing PPE kits and masks, shields etc and would be knowledgeable about how to operate oxygen cylinders/concentrators).
Oxyzones would be breathing spaces where patients who need oxygen and experiencing breathlessness and sharply dropping SPO2 levels can be brought by for oxygenation. We are also going to provide free oxygen for pick-up if the Oxyzones cannot accommodate the patients. So far we have collected not only help in the form of funds for the cylinders and concentrators but also for the PPE kits, masks, bed, fog sanitizer machines, sanitizers, oxypulse meters and BP monitors as part of your generous donations. We still have a long way to go. We are working towards at least 3 other oxyzones to open. Which means we need more oxygen cylinders. So that we can come together and make our city breathe again.
Please send in your help. Please contribute generously. Help save lives.

Further details about myself and the project:
1. I am Shankha Banerjee, a Senior Research Fellow at CERN. I live in Saint-Genis-Pouilly, France.
2. The third party, Gargi Bhattacharya (and her friend, Soumyadip Ghosh) is my school friend who champions for various social causes through the Echoes project and Prameya Foundation (links above).
3. The funds will be used to buy oxygen cylinders, PPE kits, oxygen concentrators, oxymeters, blood pressure monitors etc. The funds will be used to create more Oxyzones in and around Calcutta. The purpose these zones is to provide free oxygen to the most vulnerable who aren't able to obtain oxygen cylinders. Eleven Oxyzones have already been created in Jadavpur, Sodepur, Khidderpore, Salt Lake, Uttarpara, Bhawanipore, Moore Avenue, Kasba, Gosaba and Sundarbans (links above).
4. I will receive the funds in my French account and will transfer it to my Soumyadip Ghosh in India (I have already transferred 2000 euros to him). I could not add an Indian account in GoFundMe and hence this two way process.
