WARWICK Laura Forman and Jinen Thakkar know intimately the suffering and deadliness of COVID. During some of the bleakest periods of the pandemic in Rhode Island, the two physicians ran the Care New England field hospital in Cranston.
Now, they have partnered to bring help to a place horrifically afflicted by coronavirus disease: India, where more than 250,000 have died and 23.3 million cases have been recorded. Together, Dr. Forman and Dr. Thakkar have organized an effort that will send desperately needed medical supplies by United Airlines cargo jet to the Asian country.
