World Central Kitchen kicks off across seven States in India

The non-profit organisation links chefs with Government hospital to provide free, healthy meals for the medical fraternity, under pressure from the pandemic

The influential World Central Kitchen (WCK) has joined forces with Chef Sanjeev Kapoor in India to serve freshly prepared meals to hospital staff working around the clock in seven cities across the country. Activating initially in Mumbai, a local team of chefs prepared vegetable makhanwala with coriander rice for their first day of service. A statement from WCK says “Meals were delivered to several hospitals in two shifts, one for the day staff and another for the night crew. We also provided frontline medical staff with juice — the area is sweltering and workers are wearing full PPE, so dehydration is a major concern.”
