Mohammad Javed Khan fitted an oxygen cylinder with accessories in his auto rickshaw.
Bhopal:
When auto-rickshaw driver Mohammad Javed Khan saw people carrying their coronavirus-stricken parents to hospitals on their backs as they were too poor to afford an ambulance, he knew he had to help.
Mr Khan, a 34-year-old driver in Madhya Pradesh s capital Bhopal, sold his wife s jewellery and converted his three-wheeled vehicle into a small ambulance, fitting it out with an oxygen cylinder, an oximeter to measure oxygen levels in the blood, and other medical supplies.
As India grapples with a harrowing COVID-19 crisis that has seen infections skyrocket and the healthcare system stretched to breaking point, individuals like Mr Khan have stepped forward to try and help their local communities.
