The autorickshaw oxygen ambulance is being run by Kadamai Education and Social Welfare Trust.
On Sunday morning, a 43-year-old man’s oxygen level dropped to below 82 and he called a mobile phone number that he had seen on social media. In a matter of 30 minutes, a modified auto rickshaw fitted with an oxygen cylinder arrived at his doorstep in North Chennai and he was provided supply. In 45 minutes, his oxygen level increased to 95 and he was taken to the nearest government hospital. The autorickshaw oxygen ambulance is being run by Kadamai Education and Social Welfare Trust, working in North Chennai for the last seven years in the fields of education, women empowerment and skill training, for ten days now. “This 43-year-old man had money, but could not get oxygen. We have also come across cases where poor people suffer without oxygen and are unable to access any ambulance service. We take our autorickshaw there and give oxygen supply. After the levels increase, we admit them to the hospital,” said C. Vasantha Kumar, founder-secretary of the trust.
